Milktart triggers childhood memories … this sweet, gentle treat has found its way into the hearts and homes of many South African families.

This iconic dish starts with a soft, buttery crust, carefully pressed into a pan. Then comes the creamy filling, warm milk slowly mixed with sugar, eggs, a hint of vanilla, and don’t forget the thick and smooth custard.

Once the silky filling is poured into the crust, it’s topped with a light dusting of cinnamon. As it bakes and cools, the kitchen fills with comforting aromas that remind many of home and family gatherings.

Melktert [Milktart] isn’t just dessert; it’s a tradition, a memory, and a way to share love one sweet slice at a time.
