There are many desserts in South Africa that have been acquired during the period of its colonization. One of these is the Traditional milk tart or “melk tert” as we call it . Ithas Dutch influences, both in its ingredients and in its name. “Melk” is the Dutch word for milk, and “tert” is an Afrikaans derivative of the Dutch tart. It is a mildly sweet custart tart sprinkled with ground cinnamon. There is nothing more delicious than its smooth creamy taste, enjoyed with tea or as a dessert.
Every family has their own version of this delicious and simple custard dessert. These recipes have been passed down through families, and improve with each generation. They can be made as individual tarts or as a large one. This particular recipe is an easy, but honestly, too delicious for words version, of a Traditional Milk Tart. I will be adding some really nice alternatives in the months to come.
MILK TART SHOOTERS
Now if you are not into puddings but want something sweet and a little boozy, try the best shooters in the whole world. Milk Tart Shooters, otherwise known as "Turkish Tigers" taste just like milk tart in a glass. They take exactly 2 minutes to make , but be warned, you will probably be making them all night for your guests, because one tastes like two, and two tastes like ......... well you know what I mean, why carry on counting .
One thing I really dislike about reading recipes, is when they are not explained properly. I try my best to give you as many details as possible, so that when you make these recipes, they are without fault. I encourage you to make comments below, either positive or negative, so that others can benefit from any mistakes made, or problems encountered. I would be more than happy to answer any questions as well. Hopefully you will find these easy to follow and delicious to eat. I would love to hear from you.
