Peppermint Crisp Tart is a South African dessert.
It is one of the jewels of South African cuisine, and super simple to make!
A fresh and delicious dessert super easy to make.
I would like to thank my South African family in law for letting me taste this delicious dessert – I can no longer do without it.
It is a very easy to make it and super tasty dessert, you can expect a punch of flavor in every spoonful.
You can make this dessert for any occasion!
What is a Peppermint Crisp Tart?
Peppermint crisp is a chocolate that was originally invented in South Africa in the 1960s, which consists of a bright green, crunchy peppermint filling that is wrapped in milk chocolate.
You can expect a punch of flavor in every spoonful.
Not only is it super easy to make (there are literally only 4 ingredients), but it’s also ready in no time (OK we have to wait for it to chill a couple of hours at least in the fridge).
I love the colors and texture of this dessert, and the combination of mint chocolate and caramel is to die for.
Unfortunately some of the ingredients to make this dessert are not very popular, but thanks to Amazon I was able to find all the ingredients needed.
Ingredients Variations
Peppermint crisp can be purchased anywhere in South African stores.
But you can use any peppermint chocolate.
But my favorite trick is to crush the hard mint sticks in a blender and mix them with an equal amount of grated chocolate – this is a solution if you can’t find peppermint chocolate
Tennis cookies (even those from South African stores) can be substituted for any type of thin coconut cookie.

Notes
Peppermint Crisp is a chocolate bar made in South Africa. It can be difficult to find outside of South Africa. I stocked up from South Africa. If not, a peppermint flavored chocolate bar will probably do the trick. You'll find the link in the recipe.
