Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 packet Tennis biscuits, crushed
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Filling
- 1 tin condensed milk (approx. 395g)
- 1/2 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 cup whipped cream (lightly whipped)
Topping
- 2 Peppermint Crisp bars, crushed
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Combine the crushed Tennis biscuits with melted butter until evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the base of a tart tin. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes to allow the crust to set and firm up.
- Create the lemon mixture: In a mixing bowl, blend the condensed milk with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Continue mixing until the mixture thickens slightly to form a creamy lemon base.
- Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture to retain a light and airy texture without deflating the cream.
- Assemble the tart: Pour the creamy lemon filling evenly over the frozen biscuit crust. Use a spatula to smooth out the top for an even finish.
- Add the topping: Generously sprinkle the crushed Peppermint Crisp bars over the surface of the tart to add a minty crunch and chocolate flavor.
- Freeze to set: Place the assembled tart in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and set. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Ensure the biscuit crust is pressed firmly to prevent crumbling when slicing.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor and proper thickening of the filling.
- Be gentle when folding in whipped cream to maintain a fluffy texture.
- Tart can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 days; allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for easier slicing.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the Tennis biscuits with a gluten-free biscuit variant.
