Mint Cream Recipe
Description
This recipe is great because this cream can be used either as a cake topping or as a filling (depending on whether you whip the cream or not). It doesn't matter which mint you use—fresh or dried—as both will impart flavor and aroma equally well. It's best to use white chocolate, as it will provide a rich, creamy flavor, and the cream won't have the slight tanginess that cocoa might add.
