Ingredients
Units
Scale
Tart filling and Base
- 800ml Cha’s Organic Coconut Whipping Cream (2 x 400ml tins)
- ±1.5-2.5ml Peppermint Extract
- 350g Vegan Tesco Nice Biscuits or Vegan Coconut Cookies or 1 box of Vegan arrowroot biscuits
- 140g Vegan Mint Chocolate. I used NuGo Dark Mint Chocolate Chip (3 bars)
Caramel
- 390g Let’s Do Organic Sweetened Vegan Condensed Coconut Milk (2 x 195g tins) ** See below how to make vegan caramel at home.
Instructions
Tart filling and Base
- Put the tins of coconut cream in the fridge overnight. Also, chill the bowl you will use to whip the cream by placing it in the freezer.
- Whip the cold cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently stir in the peppermint essence.
- Ensure the caramel is soft but not hot, as this will keep the whipped cream fluffy.
- Use a square dish (25 x 20 x 7cm or 10 x 7.5 x 3 inches), place a single layer of biscuits, and add small pieces covering any gaps.
- Spread a 1/3 of the caramel cream mixture over the biscuits and sprinkle with a 1/3 of the chocolate (for a 3-layer tart).
- Repeat the layers, ending with the chocolate on top.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Cut into cubes and serve.
Caramel
- Pour the coconut condensed milk into a large microwave-safe bowl. Stir it well in case it has separated in the can.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap (cling film).
- Set your microwave to 50% power and heat the condensed milk for 5 minutes. This helps prevent it from boiling over.
- Take it out, whisk it, and cover it again.
- Lower the microwave power to 20-30%. Heat it in 2–3-minute intervals, watching closely.
- Keep microwaving until it reaches the thickness you want.
- Be careful not to overcook, or it might turn into toffee. It will thicken more as it cools.
