Method

Place cream and Chelsea Icing Sugar in a large bowl. Whip until it just reaches soft peaks. Add caramel and whip briefly until well combined.

In a 20cm square dish, arrange a single layer of the biscuits. Spoon a third of the caramel mixture over the biscuits to cover completely. Top with a third of the chocolate. Repeat two more times, to use all the ingredients, ending with a caramel & chocolate layer.

Refrigerate until set (at least 5-6 hours, ideally overnight).

Frequently asked questions
I can’t find caramel condensed milk. What can I use instead in peppermint crisp tart?

You can make your own caramel condensed milk. Take a regular can of sweetened condensed milk, remove the paper label, then submerge the can in a saucepan of boiling water. Boil for 3 hours. Alternatively, submerge in water in a slow cooker and cook on high, with the lid on, for 5 hours. For both methods, ensure the can is always covered with water. Allow to cool completely before using.

What are Tennis Biscuits, and what is an appropriate substitute in peppermint crisp tart?

Tennis Biscuits are crunchy, rectangular-shaped, coconut-flavoured biscuits that originated in South Africa. Look for them in the international section of the supermarket. Good substitutes include Arnott’s Nice Biscuits or Griffin’s Krispie biscuits.

What is Peppermint Crisp chocolate, and what can I substitute it with?

Nestle Peppermint Crisp are bars of milk chocolate wrapped around a crunchy candy-style peppermint filling. They are often found in the international section of the supermarket. Suitable substitutes include Nestle Aero Mint, after dinner mints, mint slice biscuits or a combination of milk or dark chocolate and crushed candy canes.

Can I use a different flavour instead of peppermint?

The combination of peppermint and caramel is what makes this dessert unique (and gives it its’ name!). However, you could swap the Peppermint Crisp chocolate for plain milk or dark chocolate (or crumbled Flake bar) and some toasted, chopped nuts. Alternatively, try a honeycomb flavour by using chopped Crunchie bar
