Mint Extract for Choc. Mint Silt Torte

[babywings76]

I have a question about the Choc. Mint Silt Torte

Did you use Pure Mint Extract or Peppermint extract? I don't have either, so I asked my neighbor friend. She has just enough peppermint, and a ton of pure mint. But she said the pure mint is super duper strong and thinks I should probably use the peppermint.

I used peppermint extract, and it was wonderful- not too strong.

I haven't personally made the Choc. Mint Silt Torte, but I have made other recipes that call for mint extract. In my experience, peppermint extract tends to have a stronger and more distinct flavor compared to pure mint extract. So if you're looking for a more subtle mint flavor, I would suggest using the pure mint extract. However, if you want a stronger and more traditional mint taste, then go with the peppermint extract. It really depends on your personal preference and how strong you want the mint flavor to be in your torte. Hope that helps!
