The test kitchen is creating quite a few tarts of late!

And this Caramel Chocolate Mousse combination is a keeper!

The ingredients are convenient - a packet of vanilla biscuits, a pot of thickened cream, easy melt chocolate and a tin of ready to eat caramel.

Once you have prepped your biscuit base and it is in the fridge.


Whip up a chocolate mousse using a hand mixer to beat to fluffiness.

dollop delicious caramel onto the biscuit base.
