Easy peppermint crisp tart recipe with just four ingredients
This easy South African peppermint crisp tart needs just four ingredients and no baking, making it a simple dessert for festive meals or Sunday lunch.
Peppermint Crisp tart, a beloved South African dessert, is best enjoyed during festive gatherings, but it's equally delightful any time of year. This no-bake treat requires only four ingredients and minimal effort to whip up. The key ingredients are fresh cream, caramel, peppermint chocolate, and coconut biscuits.
To make the tart, start by whipping the cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overmix it. In another bowl, smooth out the caramel and gently fold it into the whipped cream. Next, chop or grate the peppermint chocolate and stir most of it into the caramel-cream mixture, reserving some for the topping.
Arrange a layer of coconut biscuits at the bottom of a rectangular dish, breaking them if needed to fill any gaps. Spread half of the caramel-cream mixture over the biscuits, then add another layer of biscuits and the remaining caramel mixture. Finally, finish with the remaining chopped or grated peppermint chocolate.
Refrigerate the tart for at least four to six hours, preferably overnight, to allow the coconut biscuits to soften and absorb the caramel and cream, creating the tart's signature texture. For a neater appearance, save some of the chocolate for the final topping. This tart can be served as a single large portion or divided into smaller servings. It's a versatile dessert that's perfect for family lunches or individual portions, requiring no oven and minimal preparation.
