Another South African inspired pudding, this is a bit like tiramisu made with coconut cookies, creamy caramel sauce, and mint chocolate. It’s exceedingly good for the waistline and should be consumed in large quantities.
Okay, so this is less of a recipe and more a suggestion of how to throw together a layered treat of wonderful, but here are some vague measurements anyway. I’ve never actually had one of these made properly (err can anyone confirm if Orley whip is similar to Cool Whip?) but either way this turned out seriously good. And dead easy. And completely gone.
Mini Peppermint Crisps
Serves 2-4
- Directions/Method
- Combine the milk and tapioca starch in a small saucepan and whisk together until combined. Whisk in brown rice syrup, sugar, and vanilla. Heat over medium until it thickens considerably and mix in the salt. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
- Whip the cream up with a stand mixer or hand blender (or whisk – I’m sure it’ll work but I’m too lazy). Spoon the caramel in and whip together until completely blended.
- As you can see in the picture above, I used two dessert bowls but you can divvy it up in ramekins or whatever you’d like. Just layer biscuits, then cream, then mint chocolate and repeat!
- Refrigerate for several hours for the cream to firm up and soak through the cookies a bit before serving.
You had me at peppermint.
You had me at South African!
We have the official Peppermint Crisp Dessert in our restaurants, but it’s not vegan of course, so the ridiculous ease with which this can be made is a treat in itself – this can satisfy the sweet tooth of a whole family or dinner party with minimal effort from the host, and at a relatively low cost.
I really must make this soon…
I haven’t made it in ages, but it was seriously good! Can’t you get vegan mint aeros there?
This sounds really delish! I posted about it on my blog and linked to this post for the recipe/information, hope you don’t mind me using the image? If so, please just let me know and I’ll remove it 🙂
No worries! Thanks for letting me know 🙂
