Are you looking for an easy desert to make this Chrismas? The last thing you want to do is slave over pots when you really should be enjoying your time with your family. So we have an easy win for you that will leave everyone at the dinner table salivating for more…

A Peppermint Crisp Tart is a real South African favourite. A fantastic crowd-pleaser that is sure to disappear quickly at any gathering! Let’s be honest, there is nothing new about this dessert, but you can put your own twist to it by simply changing the cream for ice cream, and you’ll take the original Peppermint Crisp Tart to a new level.

With only 4 ingredients and very minimal effort required, you can create beautiful, individual ice cream sandwiches that are just as delicious!

Here is what you will need:
A rectangular tin (about 20cm x 30cm), spoon, fork, knife, small bowl, airtight container for storage.

Ingredients:
2l vanilla ice cream
360g tin Caramel Treat
200g Tennis Biscuits
150g Peppermint Crisp

Method:
Step 1:
Allow the ice cream to soften at room temperature for 10-20 minutes or until it is spreadable. Spread it roughly into a rectangular tin, about 20cm x 30cm. Leave a few gaps for the caramel.

Step 2:
Give the caramel treat a good stir until it is smooth. Pour spoonful’s over the ice cream and swirl together to create a marbled effect.

Step 3:
Spread the top until it’s smooth, then freeze for 3-4 hours or overnight.

Step 4:
Chop the peppermint crisp into small pieces and set aside in a small bowl.

Step 5:
Using a Tennis biscuit as a guide, cut squares of the ice cream mixture out and sandwich together with a Tennis biscuit on each side.

Step 6:
Roll the ice cream sandwich into the chopped Peppermint Crisp, coating all the edges.

Step 7:
Freeze in an airtight container until ready to serve.
