You can use the following code.

In your layout add the xml file.

Add this inside the magento root\\app\\design\\frontend\\base\\default\\layout\\yourcompany.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>   
<layout version="0.1.0">
    <default>
        <reference name="header">
            <block type="checkout/cart_minicart" name="minicart_head" template="checkout/cart/minicart.phtml" before="-">
                <block type="checkout/cart_sidebar" name="minicart_content" template="checkout/cart/minicart/items.phtml">
                    <action method="addItemRender"><type>configurable</type><block>checkout/cart_item_renderer_configurable</block><template>yourcompany/checkout/cart/minicart/default.phtml</template></action>
                    <action method="addItemRender"><type>default</type><block>checkout/cart_item_renderer_configurable</block><template>yourcompany/checkout/cart/minicart/default.phtml</template></action>
                </block>
            </block>
        </reference>
    </default>
</layout>

Then create the file in magento root\\app\\design\\frontend\\base\\default\\template\\yourcompany\\checkout\\cart\\minicart\\default.phtml

//Write your magic code here
