"Life is always better when your dessert is
mint-ally perfect"
While I was born and raised in Botswana, this South African classic is one
of my favourites. I have fond memories of my aunty (Lala, yes, that's what I
proudly call her) making it and her always-loved Peppermint Crisp
chocolates.
I've been sitting on this recipe for a while now, lost in my drafts. My followers on Instagram voted for this to be the following recipe I post, so here it is. Now, this dessert is so easy to make; it comes together quickly with no fuss and
no worries about baking times. It's a cold dessert that always hits the
spot on a hot day.
I made it in individual cups, elevating the dessert and tea table. You can make
it in any deep dish you prefer; a transparent dish is better because you can
see the beautiful layers if you'd like to serve it family-style.
Peppermint Crisp is the chocolate traditionally used in this dessert, which is
where it gets its name. This mint chocolate bar is no ordinary mint chocolate; it consists of a bright
green, crispy, minty filling covered in milk chocolate. These chocolates
are typically found in the international food aisle, often with a dedicated section for South African products.
Important note: Unfortunately, this classic go-to is on the boycott list, so any alternative mint chocolate bars would also work for this recipe.
Tennis Biscuits are another South African classic that may not be sold worldwide,
but you can find them in international food sections of certain
supermarkets. They are thin, square, coconut-flavoured tea biscuits. These can be
substituted with plain vanilla biscuits or digestives. If you want to go
the extra mile, sprinkle 1/4 cup of toasted desiccated coconut on top of the
biscuit layers (if you're making a family-style dessert), or mix
it into your crushed biscuits if you're making individual dessert
cups.
