3 Method / Steps

Step 1

Use electric beaters to beat the thickened cream, double cream and peppermint in a bowl. Add food colouring to tint green. Beat until evenly coloured and firm peaks form. Spoon the mixture into a large piping bag fitted with a 1.5cm fluted nozzle.

Step 2

Pipe 3 peaks onto the top of each Chocolate Slice. Place each iced Chocolate Slice on its side, just touching, around the edge of a large serving plate to form a wreath.

Step 3

Pipe small peaks of the cream mixture on top. Top with Aero, peppermint crisp, lollies and Lindor balls. Drizzle over chocolate sauce. Decorate with M&Ms.
