One of South Africa’s favourite dishes (next to braaivleis, melktert, and putu pap), this simple little tart has rightfully earned its place in the hearts and minds of South Africans.
Simple to make, using only four ingredients: Peppermint Crisps, Tennis Biscuits, plus Caramel (caramelised condensed milk) and whipped cream.
Most of us will know as the after-the-braai-desert, or… just any time!
Ingredients
- 1 tin caramel of boiled condensed milk
- 250 ml fresh cream
- 1 peppermint crisp (100g)
- 1 packet tennis biscuits
Method
- Place a layer of tennis biscuits in the bottom of a pyrex or baking dish.
- Whip cream until firm.
- Stir the caramel into the whipped cream, until it is well-mixed.
- Spread a layer of the cream-caramel mix over the tennis biscuits.
- Grate a thin layer of peppermint crisp chocolate over the cream-caramel layer.
- Repeat, finishing with a layer of cream-caramel.
- Grate another layer of peppermint crisp over the cream-caramel layer. Then crumb the rest of the peppermint crisp and spread over the top.
- Leave to set in refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
