Yummy…!! This is the biggest yummy in the whole wide world!! Be careful, you will go SO fat! because you would like to eat the whole tart yourself!!! It is made to share…but….do you really want to share…if you can have it for yourself! Eish…don’t be so selfish! Share!

PEPPERMINT CRISP FRIDGE TART …serves 6-8

Ingredients:
250ml Orley Whip, whipped (or single cream)
2 packets of Tennis biscuits (although you will probably use less) – and Tennis biscuits is a South African biscuit which you can buy from any South African shop…at London Bridge Underground station, there is one that’s called SAvanna…
375g caramelised condensed milk
20ml caster sugar
3 Peppermint Crisp bars, crushed (from the SA shops!)
3-4 drops of peppermint essence (more, if you like)
Method:
Whip the Orley Whip and then add the caramelised condensed milk castor sugar and peppermint essence. Beat until well mixed and then stir in 2/3 of the crushed Peppermint Crisp.
Place a layer of whole tennis biscuits in a buttered 29×19x5cm dish. Spoon 1/3 of the caramel mix over the buscuits and spread evenly. Continue in layers, finishing with a layer of filling on top.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Decorate by sprinkling the remainder of crushed peppermint crisp on top. Cut into squares and serve.

SUBSTITUTIONS:
You can substitute whipping cream for Orley Whip, but the outcome may be even richer than this pudding already is! I used Elmlea, a half-dairy cream available in the UK. Apparently the American Cool Whip is a near-identical product. For caramelised condensed milk, you can use dulce du leche or you can make your own by boiling a tin of normal sweetened condensed milk (warning: hazardous!!). The Tennis biscuits may prove problematic, although I have seen forums in Australia advising the use of a typr of Arnott’s coconut biscuits or Nice biscuits. Any other suggestions welcome. And as for the peppermint crisp… sadly, for that you will have to bite the bullet and buy it from a South African shop. Not sure if anything else like it exists. Maybe start campaiging for Nestle to produce it worldwide?

Our (South African) government is busy making all sorts of nonsense laws, whilst they should be busy passing legislation to forbid the importation of recipes such as this one into the country! I posted a link to your “Pap dis” on http://blik.co.za

In Australia you can also buy peppermint crisp in their shops, but it’s still not the same as the South African one, but it will do.
