ginger crunch tart

For my friend’s birthday, we decided to make a ginger crunch tart as she loves ginger. So of course I had to get the recipe from my mother, who since tells me she can’t remember who gave her the recipe. However, this is by far one of my favourite tarts, as it is not rich but oh so yummy (if you like ginger of course)!

Some top tips:

  • This recipe can easily be doubled – the photo below is of the doubled recipe
  • It is delicious served with some whipped cream or you could pipe some onto the tart
  • When working with gelatin you need to be quick or it will start to set before you are able to add it to the custard mixture
  • The recipe calls for 1/2 tsp ginger but you would always add a little extra if you like a ginger kick

Just in conclusion, please enjoy this delicious tart with a cup of tea or coffee – it is very easy to make and you won’t be sorry!
