project 158.....peppermint crisp tart

Something most of us know in South Africa is a peppermint crisp tart.  Maybe one of the easiest tarts you can make......but I must admit, I don't do it!

I don't have a sweet tooth and would much rather eat a whole bowl of creamed spinach instead of having desert!  So last night the boys said it is time for a desert......and ordered peppermint crisp tart....

My eldest(now 18 going for 19) said he can remember I made it when he was two.....The middle one said that he can"t remember that I have ever made it.....the reply was...."Sorry!  You must have missed it!".....there's two years between the two of them!

So we made it.....and they finished it by now....less than 24 hours later....

Very rich and not good for any diet or cholesterol level though.....

You will need:

1 packet of tennis biscuits
500 ml fresh cream
1 can of caramel treat
2 peppermint crisp chocolates.....could not get the real peppermint crisps, so bought peppermint slabs, but the real peppermint crisps are the best.....

Layer your dish with half the biscuits.

Beat the cream until stiff and fold the caramel treat and a quarter of the grated chocolate into it.

Spoon half the mixture on the biscuits, then another layer of biscuits, then the rest of the mixture.

Finish with the rest of the chocolate on top.

Allow to set in the fridge.
