With the holidays approaching, and more family functions and weddings set for the Summer months, we would all like to spend less time in the kitchen and more time dressing up and spending time with our guests.
This caramel mint tiramisu is a combination of two quick and easy classics : tiramisu and peppermint crisp tart. Both these desserts are delicious and always popular at functions. By combining a South African favourite and an Italian classic, the end result is a flavour explosion of mint, caramel and coffee. The best part is that it is really simple to make, and you could easily double or triple the quantities for larger crowds. I hope you enjoy making and eating these little sweet treats !
