Peppermint Crisp Tart - The Original
Report
Peppermint Crisp Tart is a true South African icon - simple, indulgent and oh-so nostalgic!
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 packets Tennis biscuits you may not use all of them
- 4 bars Peppermint Crisp (49-gram bars) total of circa 200g
- 2 tins caramelised condensed milk like Nestle Treat
- 250 millilitre double cream or whipping cream, Orley whip etc. Fridge-cold.
Instructions
- Arrange a layer of Tennis biscuits in the bottom of your dish. Break a few into smaller pieces to fill any gaps - no need for perfection as the filling will cover it.
- Use a sharp knife to chop the Peppermint Crisp bars into small pieces. Leave a few larger chunks for decoration later, it adds some interest to the tart.
- Scrape every last bit of caramel out of the tins into a large bowl - it tends to stick to the sides and you don’t want to miss a single drop! Whisk it (or use a fork) until smooth and lump-free.
- In a separate bowl, whip the fridge-cold cream to soft peaks using an electric hand mixer.
- Add the whipped cream and two-thirds of the chopped Peppermint Crisp to the caramel.
- Beat with an electric hand mixer until thick and creamy, with soft trails left by the whisk.
- Spoon half the creamy mixture onto the Tennis biscuit base and smooth it to the edges.
- Arrange another layer of Tennis biscuits over the filling, again filling any gaps with smaller pieces.
- Gently spoon the remaining mixture over the biscuits and smooth it to the edges with the back of a spoon. Create swirls for a dreamy look, if you like.
- Chill the tart for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the biscuits to soak up the cream and the flavours to develop beautifully.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the remaining Peppermint Crisp over the top. Dig in and enjoy!
