Peppermint Crisps Fridge Tart
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
Yield:
It has been on my to do list for quite a while but I never get around to make it. There is no excuse as I got two of the most important ingredients (Tennis biscuits and Caramel treat) from a South African friend of mine. These are the products that you can only get from shops that sell South African products.
When I went through the larder, only did I realise the expiry date of the Tennis biscuits is in June. We are now in the end of May, so I thought I had to do something about it. Off I went to a nearby shop to grab some other ingredients to make Peppermint Crisps Fridge Tart. This is truly a South African dessert. I didn’t know this dessert until I knew Kristin, my SA friend living in London.
All I have to say about peppermint crisps fridge tart is that there’s so much flavours in it. What makes peppermint crisps fridge tart special, I guess, is the mixed flavours of coconut, peppermint, caramel, and chocolate. Despite high in calories, I convince myself that it is OK to eat this once in a while. No, it’s not difficult to make peppermint crisps fridge tart. As long as you got all the ingredients, it’s just a matter of less than 25 minutes I reckon. However, it takes 3-4 hours to set.
If you are new to South African food (which I am), why don’t start getting to know their cuisine through peppermint crisps fridge tart?

All,
Thanks for all the comments. Just a note on this recipe, I find it slightly sweet for my taste. Perhaps, cut down the quantity of the Caramel. Instead of putting 1 tin, put 3/4 or half a tin. As the crushed Peppermint Aero also add sweetness in the tart.
Kristin,
Yeah, you are indeed!! I still have some in the fridge. C’mon over 😛

Im in holland & wanted to make peppermint fridge tart for my in laws, but they dont have caramel treat here HELP!
Hmmmm… do you think you can find South African shops there?

So I’m proudly south African laying here on my south African bed in my lil south African town googling my favorite south African dessert! I would just wanna make a suggestion….. Use the whole tin of carmel treat and 250ml cream and peppermint crisp chocolate by nestlé (don’t know if you have it) but that’s why it’s called peppermint crisp because of the chocolate it’s made of! I’m quite high on tradition so had to say something!! S.A is my Mzanzi for sure!!
