The peppermint crisp tart is a South African dessert that has been around for generations. It is a no-bake pie that consists of a layer of crushed malted milk biscuits, caramel or condensed milk, and whipped cream mixed with grated peppermint chocolate. The tart is topped with crushed peppermint crisp chocolate, which gives it a satisfying crunch and a refreshing minty flavour. The tart can be served cold and makes an excellent dessert for any occasion, from a casual family dinner to a special occasion like a birthday.

Instructions

1.	Crush the malted milk biscuits in a food processor or place them in a sealed bag and break them up using a rolling pin.
2.	Next, mix the biscuit crumbs and the condensed milk (or caramel) together in a bowl.
3.	Whip the double cream until it forms soft peaks, then fold in the grated peppermint chocolate.
4.	Spoon one-third of the biscuit mixture into a pie dish and smooth it out to form an even layer.
5.	Cover the biscuit layer with half of the whipped cream and then sprinkle some crushed peppermint crisp chocolate over the cream.
6.	Repeat the layers with the remaining biscuit mixture and whipped cream, finishing with a layer of crushed peppermint crisp chocolate on top for decoration.
7.	Place the peppermint crisp tart in the fridge to set for at least an hour before serving.

CONS

If you’re looking for a healthier option, you can substitute some of the ingredients like double cream for low-fat yoghurt or coconut cream, and use low-sugar caramel or condensed milk instead.
