Crunchy biscuit layers meet creamy caramel and mint chocolate for a chilled, indulgent dessert experience.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 8.8 oz Tennis biscuits or coconut tea biscuits

→ Filling

02 - 12.7 oz caramel treat or dulce de leche
03 - 2 cups heavy cream, cold

→ Topping

05 - 1 Peppermint Crisp bar (1.7 oz), grated or finely chopped

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Line an 8 x 8 inch square baking tin with parchment paper, ensuring an overhang for easy removal.
02 - Place a single layer of Tennis biscuits on the base, breaking as necessary to fit snugly.
03 - Whip the cold heavy cream in a large bowl to stiff peaks using an electric mixer or whisk.
04 - Stir the caramel treat until smooth, then gently fold it into the whipped cream until just combined.
05 - Fold the roughly chopped Peppermint Crisp bars into the caramel-cream mixture.
06 - Spread half of the caramel-cream mixture evenly over the biscuit layer with a spatula.
07 - Arrange another layer of biscuits over the caramel-cream spread.
08 - Spread the remaining caramel-cream mixture over the second layer of biscuits, smoothing the surface.
09 - Sprinkle the grated or finely chopped Peppermint Crisp bar evenly over the top.
10 - Refrigerate for at least 3 hours until the slice is set.
11 - Lift the slice from the tin using the parchment overhang, cut into 12 portions, and serve chilled.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • No oven needed, which means you can make it even when the kitchen feels like a furnace.
  • The contrast between crunchy biscuit, silky caramel, and sharp mint is ridiculously satisfying.
  • It looks impressive but takes less effort than most people assume.
02 -
  • Don't skip chilling time or the slices will collapse when you cut them.
  • Use cold cream straight from the fridge, room temperature cream just won't whip right.
  • If you can't find Tennis biscuits, graham crackers or digestive biscuits work just fine.
03 -
  • Chill your mixing bowl and beaters for five minutes before whipping cream, it makes a real difference.
  • If the caramel is too thick to fold easily, warm it gently for a few seconds in the microwave.
  • For extra mint punch, fold in a few drops of peppermint essence with the caramel.
