Peppermint crisp delight

Peppermint crisp delight is a truly South African dessert that everyone enjoys. The original recipe is supposed to use orley whip (in fact I think they invented it) but I like to use cream, because who doesn't like excessive amounts of cream?

Essential skills: none

Essential equipment: Electric beater (or a very strong arm for whipping all the cream)

Ingredients:

1 large peppermint crisp

500ml cream

1 tin Nestle caramel treat

1 or 2 packets of tennis biscuits

Method:

Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks

stir in the tin of caramel

crush or grate the peppermint crisp and add most of it (leave some to sprinkle on top)

place a layer of tennis biscuits at the bottom of a large dish (some people crush the biscuits but I prefer them whole

cover with a layer of cream mixture

add another layer of biscuits

add another layer of mixture

repeat as necessary until dish is full/mixture is gone

sprinkle remaining peppermint crisp

refrigerate

This can be served immediately after you have assembled it but I find it is a lot nicer if you do it in advance and refrigerate it overnight as it gives the biscuits a chance to soften. Sooo good...
