Peppermint Crisp Fridge Tart

So I know it's strange that I'm posting dessert first but trust me, you'll be glad I did because then you can get it out of the way and in the fridge to set while you prepare Christmas lunch.

It's a pretty easy dish to make with about an hour or so of prep time and then about 4 hours needed for it to set. Also, the ingredients are verrrrry easy to get and not that many or expensive. Well here goes...

Ingredients:

Fresh Cream (250g)
Caramelized Condensed Milk (375g)
1 1/2 packets of Tennis Biscuits
Up to 3 bars of Nestle Peppermint Crisp Chocolate
3-4 drops of Peppermint Essence
Castor Sugar (20ml)

Method:

1. Crush the Chocolate bars

2. In a separate bowl, whip the fresh cream into soft peaks (alternatively you could use Orley Whip)

3. Add the condensed milk, castor sugar, peppermint essence and 3/4 of the crushed chocolate to the whipped cream and mix well

4. In a buttered dish, place a layer of the tennis biscuits till the bottom is completely covered.

5. Spoon a bit (about 1/3) of the cream mixture onto the biscuits and spread until it covers them evenly

6. Repeat the process until the last of the mix is the top layer.

7. Sprinkle the leftover chocolate bits over the top layer of the mix.

8. Cover it up and refrigerate for 4 hours.

9. Cut into squares and serve once your tart has set.

Enjoy =D

Dum Spiro, Spero

While I breathe, I hope
And there is nothing
No one
That can take that away from me
My everlasting hope
Is the beacon of light shining through
At the end of a dark and dreary tunnel
It is the one piece of myself
That I will never surrender
Take my body
Steal my thoughts
Rip my heart to pieces
And shred my soul
But while there is still air in my lungs
And breath in my body
My hope will persevere
I shall not altogether die
My fragile, mortal shell may perish
But my soul will survive
My essence is deeply entrenched
Within my hope
My dreams and legacy
Lie at the centre of my hope
So kill my spirit
And break my body
But while I breathe, I hope
And no man, structure or force
May ever take that away from me
Because my hope springs eternal
Dum Spiro, Spero
Dum Spero, ego potest non vinci

Honey and Lemon Chicken

Ridiculously easy to prepare and absolutely delicious, this is one of my most favourite meals to prepare. The ingredients are easy to get and probably already available in your cupboard and it is a good, healthy-ish meal to make. It is also a perfect meal for working moms (or dads, whoever is cooking really) who want to throw together a quick, nutritious dinner for the family.

Ingredients:

Chicken pieces
Honey
Lemon
Cooking oil (preferably olive or canola)
Salt & Pepper/Spices (to season)
Garlic (optional)
Herbs (optional)

Method:

1. Preheat your oven.
(Personally I tend to set it to 180°C but whatever you feel comfortable with should be fine).

2. Wash the meat very well and set it aside to drain or dry a little.

3. In a bowl, mix the lemon, honey, oil and seasoning together.
(You can make as much or as little as you'd like depending on the amount of chicken you're making). (You can also add the garlic and/or herbs if you'd like).

4. Place the drained meat into the mixture and make sure that all the pieces are thoroughly coated with it.

5. Once coated, move the meat to an oven dish/baking tray that has been lightly coated with oil.

6. Put the meat in the oven and turn over every ten minutes or so, making sure to stab it with a fork so that the natural oil of the meat can come out as well as the blood. Once the meat is a lovelt golden brown, make sure that it is properly cooked inside and if it is, you may remove it from the oven.

7. Serve with rice and/or vegetables

**NB**

The garlic/garlic salt and/or herbs add a fuller and more tantalising flavour to the meat but they are not essential.

Enjoy =))
