This dessert came to be at out table after some reminiscing of favourite Nanna treats. I was telling my friends how I loved when Nanna grated the peppermint crisp over the mountains of whipped cream on her wonderful pavlova. Much to my disgust, not one of my friends knew what a peppermint crisp was. If you find yourself in this unfortunate category then please do yourself a favour and go to the supermarket, head straight for the chocolate isle and look for the bright green wrapper marked "peppermint crisp".
I couldn't have people I know and love going their whole life not experiencing such a treat so I called in the big guns...... I called my Nanna.
Ingredients:
4 Egg whites
1 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon corn flour
1 teaspoon white vinegar
Beat the egg whites until stiff then gradually add the sugar while beating, add the corn flour with the last bit of sugar.
Stir the vinegar in last.
Mound the mix onto a baking tray covered with foil.
Bake at 100° C for about an hour.
It was a hit and more importantly now everyone knows what a peppermint crisp is
