2 1/4 cups sugar

1/2 cup water

3 large egg whites

1 tablespoon light corn syrup

1/2 teaspoon pure peppermint extract

Chocolate curls to garnish cake, if desired

Directions

Combine sugar, water, egg whites and corn syrup in bowl of stand mixer.

Whisk by hand to blend well.

Set bowl over saucepan of gently simmering water.

Whisk constantly by hand until mixture resembles marshmallow cream and ribbons form when whisk is lifted, about 8 to 9 minutes.

Whisk in peppermint extract.

Remove bowl from over water and place on stand mixer using whisk attachment.

Beat on high speed until mixture is barely warm to touch and very thick, 7 to 8 minutes.

Using offset spatula and working quickly, spread frosting over sides and top of cake.

Sprinkle chocolate curls on top and sides, if desired.

This sounds wonderful I could even make some chocolate covered mint leaves as a decoration along with the chocolate curls.
