Peppermint Tart is a sweet & cold South African dessert. It is creamy & rich with a minty flavor that will leave you satisfied with just a small portion. Homemade Peppermint Tart is really easy to make & isn’t time consuming.
If these brands aren’t available, use coconut biscuits as a replacement for Tennis biscuits & a tin of condensed milk may be boiled for around 6 hours which will result in caramel. Any other chocolate that contains peppermint/mint in them can be used as well.
