Love it or hate it, Peppermint Crisp tart remains a beloved Christmas dessert in South Africa.
This classic fridge tart combines simple ingredients like cream, caramel, peppermint chocolate, and Tennis biscuits.
However, one TikToker recently stirred controversy by adding an unexpected twist to the recipe.
In a video set to the popular sound, “Nobody’s gonna know,” the woman is seen adding a dollop of toothpaste to her tart mixture.
She captioned the video: “Still smells the same. They won’t know the difference,” while the overlay reads: “When they put me in charge of the peppermint crisp tart for Christmas lunch.”
For many, the dessert already polarises opinions, especially among those who dislike peppermint.
There are others who would rather have trifle over the minty dessert.
But the idea of adding toothpaste to an already minty treat? It’s a step too far for most people.
The video quickly went viral, amassing nearly 167,000 views and over 8,000 likes. The comments section is filled with a mix of humour and disbelief.
“This is exactly how I describe peppermint tart. Tastes like toothpaste,” one commenter wrote.
Another added, “Oh lawd, wrong on so many levels.”
Some found humour in the twist, with one person joking, “Dessert and fresh breath.”
Others were more critical, writing, “This is why you can’t eat at just anybody’s house.”
While most agreed toothpaste has no place in the iconic dessert, the video reignited debates about the tart's divisive minty flavour.
Whether you’re a fan or not, this unconventional addition highlights the lengths some will go to for a laugh, or perhaps a prank, at the lunch table.
