Gluten Free No Bake Peppermint Slices

Back to all recipes.
No bake gluten free cakes are the easiest thing you will ever make. I absolutely love having one sat in my fridge and this one was certainly a winner with all the family as we all love mint chocolate. With M&S mint chocolate eggs on top of homemade peppermint fondant and gluten free digestive base, this would be great for Easter too - but switch to Aero Bubbles to make it anytime! Or why not switch up the flavour and make an orange fondant and top with broken up orange Aero!

Gluten Free No Bake Peppermint Slices

Ingredients

300g gluten free digestives
130g unsalted butter
50g milk chocolate
300g icing sugar
3tsp peppermint extract
4-5tsp water
Couple drops green food colouring
150g milk chocolate
150g mint chocolate eggs (or Aero bubbles is a good alternative)

Method

  1. Chuck the digestives in a food bag and crush using a rolling pin or meat tenderiser, they don't have to be super fine, some chunks are fine set aside.

  2. Put the butter in a bowl and melt in a microwave in 30 second blasts until completely melted.

  3. Stir the crushed biscuits into the butter and then press into an 8x8 square baking tin (I line with cling film to make it easier to lift out but you don't have to do that). Place in the fridge to harden for at least an hour.

  4. In a bowl mix the icing sugar with flavour, colouring (you can leave white it you want too) and water until a stiff fondant paste, to runny and it will just run out the sides so it needs to be stiff like what you get in a peppermint cream. Press on top of biscuit layer, using a damp spoon help push it down without it sticking to your fingers.

  5. In another bowl, break up your chocolate and melt in a microwave in 30 second blasts, pour on top of the fondant and then sprinkle on crushed (or leave whole in you prefer!) M&S Mint Choc Speckled Eggs or Aero Bubbles. Set for at least 1 hour in the fridge before cutting into pieces.
