Ingredients
Scale
Tart Shell
- 1 ½ cups digestive biscuit crumbs (or graham cracker crumbs)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
Mousse Filling
- 4 Cadbury Flake chocolate bars (about 35g each)
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp gelatin (optional, for extra firmness)
Decoration
- 2 additional Cadbury Flake bars, broken into pieces
- Fresh berries (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tart Shell: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the digestive biscuit crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture is evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the base and sides of a tart pan to form the shell. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the crust turns lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow it to cool completely before filling.
- Make the Mousse: Break the Cadbury Flake bars into pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the chocolate by heating in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each, until smooth and fully melted. Let it cool slightly. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. If using gelatin for extra firmness, dissolve it in a little warm water and mix it into the melted chocolate. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until smooth and fully combined, ensuring you maintain the airy texture.
- Assemble the Tart: Once the tart shell has fully cooled, pour the mousse mixture into the shell and spread it evenly with a spatula. Place the tart in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours or until the mousse is set and firm to the touch.
- Decorate and Serve: Before serving, scatter broken pieces of Cadbury Flake bars over the top for a crunchy texture, and optionally garnish with fresh berries for a touch of color and freshness. Slice carefully and enjoy this delightful, creamy tart.
Notes
- For a firmer mousse, adding gelatin is recommended but optional.
- If digestive biscuits are unavailable, graham cracker crumbs make a suitable substitute.
- The mousse texture is best when the heavy cream is whipped to stiff peaks.
- Keep the tart chilled until just before serving to maintain mousse stability.
- Fresh berries add a lovely tangy contrast but can be omitted if preferred.
