Method

Chill the finished creams until the chocolate has fully set.

Dip each cream into the melted chocolate and place back on the tray.

Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water without letting the bowl touch the water.

Chill the circles in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours until set.

Cut out circles using a 5cm cutter and place them on a baking tray.

Roll out the mixture thinly on a surface dusted with icing sugar.

Slowly whisk in the lemon juice, peppermint, and icing sugar to form a stiff paste.

Whisk the egg white in a bowl until stiff peaks form.
