Transkei Mud Pudding from South Africa

This fridge tart is a South African classic. Easy to make, decadently delicious and great to serve at a barbecue as a dessert. It's got its name from the Transkei mud which is the same orangey brown colour.
It's quite rich but those with a sweet tooth will demand more.
1 Tin Condensed Milk - caramelised (boil the unopened tin in a large pan of water for 1,5 hours or alternatively just buy a can of caramel if you can get it
1 cup Double Cream
1 packet instant pudding (Butterscotch, caramel or vanilla)
1 packet Digestive Biscuits or Tennis biscuits if you can get them
Mint Chocolate or Pepermint Crisp
Here's what you have to do with the goodies.  Whisk the double cream and instant pudding until it has thickened.  Slowly add the caramel and mix thoroughly.  Grate 4-6 pieces mint chocolate into the mixture.  Layer a dish with biscuits and then the caramel mixture (try at least 2 layers of each).  Chill overnight.  Garnish with grated mint chocolate.  The easiest dessert to make ever and it always gets good compliments!
