Welcome to this step-by-step guide on how to make Tennis Biscuits dessert. This dessert is a South African classic that is quick and easy to make with just a few ingredients. The dessert consists of Tennis Biscuits layered with whipped cream and caramel or condensed milk and topped with a sprinkle of coconut. So, let's get started!
Ingredients
- 1 can of caramel or condensed milk
- 1 packet of Tennis Biscuits
- 500 ml of whipped fresh cream
- 1 cup of desiccated coconut
Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Caramel
If you are using condensed milk, you will first need to transform it into caramel. To do this, preheat your oven to 220°C. Pour the condensed milk into an ovenproof dish and cover with foil. Place the dish in a larger baking tray filled with about 2 cm of water. Place in the oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the condensed milk is caramelized.
If you prefer to use store-bought caramel, simply open the can of caramel and mix it well to make it smooth.
Step 2: Whipping the Cream
Pour the whipped cream into a large bowl and use an electric mixer to beat it until stiff peaks form. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to overmix the cream, or it will become too dense and buttery in texture. Once it's done, set it aside.
Step 3: Assembling the Dessert
Now, you are ready to assemble the dessert. First, spread a thin layer of caramel or condensed milk at the bottom of your serving dish. Then, dip each Tennis Biscuit into the whipped cream and arrange them in a single layer on top of the caramel. Continue to layer the biscuits with whipped cream and drizzle caramel sauce between the layers. Repeat until all the ingredients are used up.
Finally, sprinkle a generous amount of desiccated coconut over the top layer of whipped cream. Set it in the refrigerator and allow it to set for at least an hour before serving. Your delicious Tennis Biscuits dessert is now ready!
Tips
- You can also add sliced bananas or strawberries in between the layers to add some extra flavor to the dessert.
- To make the dessert a bit chocolaty, you can sprinkle some grated chocolate over the top layer of coconut.
- Make sure to use fresh whipping cream for the best results.
- You can also use mascarpone cheese instead of whipped cream.
With these simple steps, you can make the perfect Tennis Biscuits dessert that will delight your family and friends. Enjoy your delicious dessert and don't forget to share this recipe with others who may love it too!
