The iconic, layered dessert needs little introduction – it’s the magic of happy childhood memories and an indulgent finish to a South African braai or Sunday lunch. The culinary classic originates back to the 1970’s when it was first introduced as a recipe on the packaging of the NESTLÉ Peppermint Crisp chocolate bar. Who remembers biting off the ends of the Peppermint Crisp and drinking milk through the green mint crystals? Yum! It’s made by layering chocolate sponge, sweet and buttery NESTLÉ Caramel Treat, crunchy coconut biscuits and topped off with fluffy whipped cream. The result is a decadent, creamy and crunchy texture with bursts of minty fresh peppermint flakes. So take a sweet trip down nostalgia lane and bowl everyone over with this perfect fridge pudding – it stays in the hearts (and stomachs) of many South Africans for good reason!

Serve with Whipped Cream

Garnish

Just before serving, whip the cream and spoon onto the trifle.

TIP: Try not to overwhip your cream – you don’t want to end up with butter. Aim for stiff peaks, where the cream stays on the whisk when lifted.
