Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Tennis biscuits (or Graham crackers as a substitute)
- 380 grams Caramel treat (dulce de leche)
- 500 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 150 grams Peppermint Crisp chocolate bar (or mint chocolate bar)
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream and whip it with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
2. Gently fold the caramel treat (dulce de leche) into the whipped cream. Use a spatula to mix until well combined and smooth, being careful not to deflate the cream.
3. Roughly chop or grate the Peppermint Crisp chocolate bar into small pieces and set aside.
4. Begin assembling the tart pie in a 9-inch pie dish or similar serving dish. Start by laying a single layer of Tennis biscuits (or Graham crackers) on the bottom to form the base.
5. Spoon a generous layer of the caramel-cream mixture over the biscuits, spreading it evenly to fully cover the layer.
6. Sprinkle a portion of the chopped Peppermint Crisp chocolate over the caramel-cream layer.
7. Repeat the layering process: add another layer of biscuits, followed by the caramel-cream mixture, and then another sprinkling of chocolate. Continue layering until all ingredients are used, ending with a final layer of cream topped with the remaining chocolate.
8. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the biscuits to soften.
9. When ready to serve, optionally garnish with fresh mint leaves. Slice and enjoy this creamy, minty dessert!
