Ingredients | Peppermint Mint Brownies

1 (.25 ounce) package unflavored gelatin

½ cup white sugar, divided

⅛ teaspoon salt

2 eggs, separated

1 ¼ cups milk

¼ teaspoon peppermint extract

3 drops red food coloring

1 cup whipping cream, whipped

Directions

In a medium saucepan over no heat, combine gelatin, 1/4 cup sugar and salt, mix well and reserve. In a medium bowl, beat together egg yolks and milk, add to gelatin mixture.

Cook gelatin and egg mixture in saucepan over low heat; stir constantly until the gelatin dissolves and mixture thickens slightly or about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add peppermint extract or candy.

Add food coloring and mix. Chill in refrigerator until mixture is slightly thicker than the consistency of unbeaten egg whites.

In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry. Gradually add remaining sugar and beat until very stiff and fold into gelatin mixture; fold in whipped cream.

Turn into a 5-cup heart-shaped mold; chill until firm. Unmold and garnish with additional whipped cream, if desired; serve.

Substitute 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies for the peppermint extract if you've got candies but no extract in the kitchen!
