Cadbury Flake Mousse Tart: A Chocolate Lover’s Dream

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just crave a dessert that’s pure, unadulterated chocolate indulgence. That’s where this Cadbury Flake Mousse Tart comes in! It’s a symphony of creamy, dreamy chocolate, with the iconic crunch of Cadbury Flake adding a delightful texture. This recipe takes me right back to my childhood, with those nostalgic flavors of creamy milk chocolate and crumbly biscuit.

This Cadbury Flake Mousse Tart is surprisingly easy to make, even if you’re not a seasoned baker. It’s a no-bake wonder that comes together with just a few simple ingredients. We’re focusing on homemade goodness here, no boxed mixes allowed! The result? A truly decadent dessert that will wow your friends and family.

Flavor Goal: Imagine a cloud of velvety smooth chocolate mousse, punctuated by the satisfying crunch of Cadbury Flake pieces. That’s exactly what we’re going for! This tart is rich, chocolatey, and utterly irresistible.

Ingredient Insights:

  • Oreos or Tennis Biscuits: These form the base of our tart. Choose your favorite! They’ll be crushed to a fine crumb to create a sturdy and flavorful crust.
  • Melted Butter: This helps bind the biscuit crumbs together and adds a touch of richness to the base.
  • Fresh Cream: We’re using heavy whipping cream here to create a luxuriously thick and airy mousse. Make sure it’s nice and cold for optimal whipping.
  • Condensed Milk: This sweet and creamy ingredient adds body and sweetness to the mousse.
  • Cadbury Flake Chocolate: The star of the show! We’ll use both grated and crumbled Flake to infuse the mousse with its unique flavor and texture.

Essential Equipment:

  • Food processor or rolling pin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Tart pan or pie dish
  • Spatula

Ingredients:

  • 1 packet Oreos or tennis biscuits (about 200g)
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 cups fresh cream (heavy whipping cream)
  • 1 can (397g) condensed milk
  • 1 packet Cadbury Flake chocolate (divided, ½ cup grated or finely chopped and the rest crumbled for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Make the Biscuit Base:
    • Crush the Oreos or tennis biscuits in 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.
    • Combine the biscuit crumbs with the melted butter and mix until well combined.
    • Press the mixture firmly and evenly into your tart pan or pie dish.
    • Refrigerate the base for 15-20 minutes to firm up while you prepare the mousse filling.
  2. Prepare the Chocolate Mousse:
    • In a large bowl, whip the fresh cream using a whisk or electric mixer until soft peaks form.
    • Gradually add the condensed milk while continuing to beat. Mix until the mixture is light, fluffy, and holds its shape.
    • Gently fold in ½ cup of the grated or finely chopped Cadbury Flake. Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the mousse.
  3. Assemble the Tart:
    • Remove the biscuit base from the refrigerator.
    • Pour the chocolate mousse filling over the base and spread it evenly with a spatula.
    • Sprinkle the remaining crumbled Cadbury Flake generously over the top of the mousse.
  4. Chill & Serve:
    • Refrigerate the tart for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousse to set completely.
    • Once set, slice and serve your Cadbury Flake Mousse Tart. This dessert is best enjoyed chilled!

Troubleshooting:

  • Runny Mousse: If your mousse isn’t setting, it could be that your cream wasn’t whipped enough or your ingredients weren’t cold enough. Make sure to use chilled cream and whip it to stiff peaks.
  • Soggy Base: Blind-baking the biscuit base for a few minutes before adding the filling can help prevent it from becoming soggy.

Tips and Variations:

  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate Oreos or add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the biscuit base.
  • You can substitute the Cadbury Flake with other chocolate bars, but the unique texture of Flake is what makes this tart special.
  • To make individual tarts, use small tartlet tins or ramekins.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions:

  • Serve this tart chilled, on its own or with a dollop of freshly whipped cream.
  • It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of dessert wine.
