[QUOTE="PW1, post: 1741244, member: 388457"] Thank you for this idea. I just tried an experiment based on it. I love chocolate covered peppermint creams - except they are loaded with sugar. I tried some 100% Choc melted with coconut oil. Layered in little paper cup cake cases. With a centre of the solid bit of a tin of coconut cream (Tesco), mixed with peppermint extract to make it just minty enough for me. Obviously freezing at each stage. It has almost worked - they taste great and the chocolate texture is just right. But the coconut cream seems to be taking forever to solidify - probably because of my impatience and the alcohol in the peppermint extract. Hopefully I will be able to wait overnight and they will be just like the real thing. Next time I might try creamed coconut instead of coconut cream, because creamed coconut still has the coconut fibre in it to hold it together. This is such a simple idea. I love how the chocolate comes out wafer thin. Delicious texture. So thank you again, simple to do and taste great. [/QUOTE]
