Here’s a quick and easy recipe for you to try with your family this Christmas. Peppermint tart is a simple and classic South African treat using Tennis Biscuits:
Ingredients• 2 packets Tennis Biscuits• 1 cup (250 ml) fresh cream (cold, for whipping)• 1 can caramel treat (Nestlé caramel)• 1 large bar Peppermint Crisp chocolate (or 2 small bars), crushed• Optional: extra chocolate for topping
Method• Whip the cream until stiff peaks form.• Fold in the caramel gently until smooth and well combined. Don’t overmix.• Crush or grate the Peppermint Crisp and mix most of it into the caramel-cream mixture (keep some aside for topping).• Layer the dessert:• Place a layer of Tennis Biscuits at the bottom of a square or rectangular dish.• Spread a thick layer of the caramel mixture over the biscuits.• Add another layer of biscuits and repeat until you reach the top.• Top with the remaining crushed Peppermint Crisp.• Cover and refrigerate for at least four to six hours (overnight is best for the biscuits to soften).
Serving tips• Serve chilled for a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture.• You can decorate with mint leaves or crushed biscuits for presentation.
