Short Description

This Cadbury Flake Mousse Tart features a buttery biscuit base, a light and airy chocolate mousse filling, and a crumbled Cadbury Flake topping for the ultimate chocolate indulgence. It’s an easy, no-bake dessert that looks and tastes like a showstopper!

Key Ingredients

For the Biscuit Base:

• 1 packet Oreos or tennis biscuits (about 200g)
• 4 tablespoons melted butter

For the Mousse Filling:

• 2 cups fresh cream (heavy whipping cream)
• 1 can (397g) condensed milk
• ½ cup Cadbury Flake chocolate (grated or broken into small pieces)

For Garnish:

• 1 packet Cadbury Flake (crumbled on top)

Tools Needed

• Food processor (or a rolling pin and sealed bag)
• Mixing bowls
• Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
• Spatula
• Tart pan or pie dish
• Refrigerator

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Make the Biscuit Base

Crush the Oreos or tennis biscuits using a food processor until fine crumbs form. If you don’t have a food processor, place the biscuits in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Mix the crumbs with melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into a tart pan or pie dish, ensuring an even layer. Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes while you prepare the mousse filling.

Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Mousse

In a large mixing bowl, whip the fresh cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Slowly pour in the condensed milk while continuing to beat, ensuring the mixture stays fluffy.

Gently fold in ½ cup of grated or broken Cadbury Flake, making sure the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the mousse.

Step 3: Assemble the Tart

Pour the chocolate mousse mixture over the chilled biscuit base, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Smooth out the top to create a clean finish. Sprinkle the crumbled Cadbury Flake generously over the mousse for a final chocolatey touch.

Step 4: Chill & Serve

Refrigerate the tart for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the mousse to set properly.

Once firm, slice and enjoy a rich, creamy chocolate treat that melts in your mouth!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Quick & Easy: No complicated steps, just simple ingredients and minimal prep.

Indulgently Creamy: The mousse is light yet rich, pairing perfectly with the crunchy base.

Perfect for Any Occasion: A great dessert for parties, celebrations, or a personal treat.

No-Bake Convenience: Keep your oven off and still enjoy a luxurious dessert.

Mistakes to Avoid & Solutions

1. Overwhipping the Cream
Mistake: Whipping the cream for too long can make it grainy or turn it into butter.
Solution: Stop when soft peaks form—this means the cream holds its shape but is still smooth and airy.

2. Not Chilling Long Enough
Mistake: Cutting into the tart too soon can make the mousse too soft and unstable.
Solution: Let it chill for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better) for a perfect set.

3. Uneven Biscuit Base
Mistake: Pressing the biscuit mixture too lightly can make the crust crumbly.
Solution: Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to pack it tightly for a solid base.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

– Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra creamy bite.
– Pair with a cup of coffee, espresso, or a glass of cold milk.
– Add a scoop of vanilla or caramel ice cream on the side for an indulgent touch.
– Drizzle with a bit of melted chocolate for an extra layer of decadence.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Refrigeration: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container.

Freezing: Freeze individual slices for up to a month. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe container.

Thawing: Let frozen slices sit in the fridge for a few hours before serving.

FAQs

1. Can I use a different type of chocolate instead of Cadbury Flake?
Yes! Any finely grated milk chocolate or chocolate shavings will work, though Cadbury Flake gives the best texture.

2. Can I make this tart in advance?
Absolutely! This tart actually tastes better after chilling overnight, making it perfect for prepping ahead.

3. Can I make it without condensed milk?
If you prefer a less sweet mousse, substitute with ½ cup melted white chocolate or use a mixture of whipped cream and mascarpone.

4. What if I don’t have a tart pan?
A pie dish or even a springform pan will work just as well. Just make sure to press the crust evenly.

5. How can I make this tart more firm?
If you prefer a firmer mousse, add 1 teaspoon of gelatin dissolved in warm milk before mixing it into the whipped cream.

Tips & Tricks

– Use cold cream for easier whipping and a fluffier mousse.
– For a richer chocolate flavor, add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the mousse mixture.
– Chill your mixing bowl before whipping the cream for best results.

Recipe Variations

1. Dark Chocolate Version
Replace Cadbury Flake with ½ cup grated dark chocolate for a more intense chocolate flavor.

2. Mint Chocolate Twist
Add ½ teaspoon peppermint extract to the mousse and use mint-flavored chocolate for a refreshing touch.

3. Nutty Crunch
Mix ¼ cup crushed hazelnuts or almonds into the mousse for added texture.
