• 2/3 cup cold heavy whipping cream

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, beat the cream and crushed peppermints until stiff peaks form. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
2. In a large saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. Add the white chocolate to the hot milk and whisk until melted and smooth. Mix in the peppermint extract. Heat until very warm.

Let the center settle before you cut it, or the slices will slump.
