- 1 can caramel condensed milk
- 1 cup cream
- 1 packet tennis biscuits
- 1 bar peppermint crisp chocolate
- 1 tablespoon grated chocolate for garnish
Instructions
- Chill a mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to ensure cream whips perfectly.

- Sprinkle half of the grated peppermint crisp chocolate over the cream layer.
- Repeat the layering process with another layer of tennis biscuits, remaining caramel cream mixture, and remaining grated chocolate.

- Slice and serve chilled directly from the refrigerator.
Tips
- Chilling is key! Make sure to refrigerate your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream to achieve the perfect texture.
- Be gentle when folding the caramel condensed milk into the whipped cream to maintain the light, airy consistency.
- For the best flavor and texture, allow the tart to set overnight. Patience is crucial in developing those incredible layers of taste.
- Use a fine grater when preparing the peppermint crisp chocolate to ensure even distribution and a beautiful presentation.
- Serve directly from the refrigerator to maintain the tart's perfect consistency and keep those layers intact.
- If you can't find tennis biscuits, graham crackers make an excellent substitute.
- For an extra touch of elegance, consider using a clear glass dish to showcase the beautiful layers of this stunning dessert.
