Milk Tart. Heerlik!!!

However, I don’t believe they are as popular as their counter parts, Cake Slices, Cream Doughnuts, your Madeira Cakes, etc. This is well justified by the fact that Milk tart is a very traditional South African dessert. Milk Tart/Melktert – Easy, Rich and Creamy – Perfect entertaining pie with an easy press-on pastry crust. In fact, my very first introduction to the dessert was when I was in primary school, still young, carefree and open to trying out new foods but still playing it safe.

I must have been 10 or 11-years-old if I had to guess. We had some really friendly neighbours who had two kids. I think two houses down or behind us, and we became friends with the siblings that were around my sisters and I’s age. I remember the one sister’s name, Liyandi (sp). They were from South Africa and super friendly and on one of our play date, Liyandi brought us some Milk Tart.
