Mint Chocolate Crisp

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

   Tip: Use a convection oven for an even crisper topping.

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, peppermint extract, and milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

   Tip: Avoid boiling the mixture.

3. 3

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, and unsweetened cocoa powder.

   Tip: Use a whisk or a fork for a more rustic texture.

4. 4

   Add the chocolate chips, coconut oil, and eggs to the bowl. Mix until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is well combined.

   Tip: Don't overmix the dough.

5. 5

   Pour the sugar mixture into the bowl and mix until a dough forms.

   Tip: Adjust the amount of milk if the dough is too sticky.

6. 6

   Press half of the dough into the bottom of a 20x20cm baking dish.

   Tip: Use a spatula to get an even crust.

7. 7

   Top the dough with the remaining dough, pressing it into the corners of the dish.

   Tip: Use a fork to create a pattern on the top crust.

8. 8

   Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.

   Tip: Let the dessert cool completely before serving.

9. 9

   Sprinkle the mint leaves over the top of the dessert before serving.

   Tip: Use fresh mint leaves for the best flavor.
