COFFEE CREAMER No-bake Cheesecake? -- South African Cremora Tart 🇿🇦

Cremora Tart hails from South Africa and is made with a powdered milk creamer along with condensed milk and lemon juice. That combination of ingredients creates a thick cheesecake filling without any baking, or cream cheese. A big thank you to Daphne for sharing this recipe with me to make this episode possible. 🙏🏼 Let do this! 👊🏻

I've always found it interesting that non-dairy creamer's usually have a milk protein in them and that non-dairy creamer is a powdered version of whipped topping (i.e. Cool Whip).

[@tuniemert]

tjs114 my daughter is allergic to milk proteins, so I’ve had to learn labeling quite well. Typically, “non-dairy” refers to the absence or removal of lactose, whereas “dairy free” means completely dairy free, including milk proteins and solids. Wish labeling were more clear though!

I finally made this today. It's been on my mind for months. 1) Super fun to make. Watching the kitchen alchemy happen is delightful. 2) It definitely mellows the more you let it sit. We ate some an hour after I made it and again about 5 hours after I made it. The first slice was definitely more citrus tasting and sharp compared to the second bit I had later. It also tasted a little less sweet after sitting for a while. I would definitely recommend leaving it to do It's thing overnight if possible. Next time I make it I plan to use ginger biscuits and see how that works out.

Hi. I am in US. When I was in college 30yrs ago (Haha- sharing my years!)... I would by at specialty food section of Cost Plus / World Market, out of this world delicious lemon. Cookies and have been trying to find since.Think here, you like lemon and have European, British, & SouthAfrican baked products - you possibly may know the cookies I am craving. They were a petit beurre cookie sandwich. .a very tart lemon cream icing type between the two cookies. I feel as if the petit beurre cookies had also been dipped in a sugar syrup or something & then placed in an oven to dry & create a shiny-ish golden glaze. The over the cookie part- baked on glaze, may even been a lemon flavor- dont remember this part, it is possible tho. And after that, the lemon filling added. // I feel they must still sell these cookies as they were delicious. It's just not a brand carried in USA. I've even tried to imitate them but mine were just, not right. / I looked up 'your' cookie you mention and it's not same one; but I will try it. PLS if you might be familiar with European, maybe British cookie I am talking about- pls let me know. Thanks kindly One of my fav cookies is Pims orange flavor, even tho theyve changed over the years- but still v nice. Wish theyed make a lemon too. ty

South african here! Thank you for embracing our ingredients and recipes. Yes definitely a dunking biscuit. 😊

[@genasmith5817]

I just made this, and WOW. It really is tasty. It’s so silky smooth and delicious. I mostly taste the lemon and the condensed milk flavors. So simple, and really enjoyable. I’m keeping this recipe around, for sure.

[@elizabethcomerford8842]

Thank you Emmy!! I appreciate how you try everything with such positivity !

[@stefanwild326]

now ad a layer of that instant coffee "whip" you made :)

[@BronteBlu2]

Ooooh, that sounds good!

[@sistakia33]

Okay, now you're really talking! If there was a good brand of instant coffee I would do it! Any ideas?

[@ThePronounI]

Thank you, haven't seen anything proudly South African from you in a long time. 💜

[@nicolenesmuts9342]

So proud to say that I'm South African and have made this recipe so many times myself! Love it! Thanks Emmy!

[@beatrixjones2982]

I’m going to make this tomorrow! As always you make the entire video enjoyable to watch. My husband and I have decided you are our favorite person to listen to because your voice is delightful and full of joy. Thank you for sharing. We love you!!

[@aracelipolendosandoval6767]

I'm a have a TON of lemons from my lemon tree, condensed milk, and I buy my coffee creamer at Sam's (so needless to say I have enough) I will however need to go buy the cookies, I think I'm going to try Maria cookies. Thanks Emmy😍

[@chantelleleone8944]

María won't work, totally different cookie. Tennis has coconut in it I think. There are similar cookies in international sections of supermarket

Omg this is so cool! I literally love your channel, and I'm from South Africa, so I can already tell I'm going to love this video

[@mdshonkkc]

I've made this 3 times so far! It is so easy and so good. The texture and citrus remind me of Key Lime pie. I keep all the ingredients on hand in case I need a quick desert.

[@jenniferliu7586]

[@anthonychiaia6428]

Very good recipe Emmy I added lime zest and substituted half of lemon juice with lime juice to make a key lime variation my family loved it.

[@SkipperJane]

This reminds me of a no-bake “margarita” cake my aunt would make with a pretzel crust and cool whip/lime filling.

[@Boredchinchilla]

SkipperJane the cool whip jello pie/cake has like 100 different versions. Chocolate cookies and strawberry jello, nilla wafers and peach jello (I like that one). Black cherry jello with OREO and coconut crust is interesting (cherry chocolate pie I think that one is called). I like coconut pudding and cool whip with a graham cracker crust

[@voluntaryismistheanswer]

I had that recipe, it was delicious!

[@voluntaryismistheanswer]

@@Boredchinchilla yeah but those don't have cuervo and triple sec lol

[@Boredchinchilla]

VoluntaryismIsTheAnswer That is true. I’m betting you could add booze to all the JELLO pies, like a Jell-O shot with a crust.I like desserts you can get drunk on- kills two birds with one pie...er stone lol.

[@azlibra7178]

VoluntaryismIsTheAnswer I betcha you could decrease the other liquids in the “margarita” pie to add the alcohols!🤘🏻✌🏻😉

[@barbarahamilton586]

[@okuhle5820]

Mom used to make this during holidays. It was a great alternative to expensive cheesecakes or ice cream, especially in my village. When I grew up and wanted to impress my colleagues, I made this. They still rave on about it and ask me to make it for events.

[@malena6268]

NOTIFICATION GAAANG! ❤️ Emmy’s vids are always an immediate click!

[@thenaturalselector81]

I'm soooo making this with fruity pebbles for the crust, I cannot wait to try this out!

[@looking4zion]

Lol. Any sugary cereal would probably work well... bet this would be good with cinnamon toast crunch, too... golden grahams? (Although that's pretty close to regular old Graham crackers...)

[@somethinggood9267]

Omgosh that's brilliant🤑

[@thenaturalselector81]

My bf has a gluten allergy so I'm always substituting crusts

[@yvettela6179]

That coffee whipped topping you made probably would go great with this cake

[@possumbuddy]

I just made this yesterday. We love it. Great recipe! Thanks.

[@blakegracia5892]

[@joellandis6266]

I made this! Thank you for sharing. It’s delicious. Other than it having not a single natural ingredient in it except water and lemon juice, it’s amazing!

[@tUiDo4]

The amazement of how people come up with such recipes. The human mind really is a great thing when it’s used towards the right idea😊

[@electricwitch1]

Yay! I actually have all the ingredients for this! I will have to use honey grahams for the crust though😀

[@RLucas3000]

I bet those coconut cookies you can get in dollar stores would work crumbled up with some butter added, and they are just $1.00 for a pretty huge package

I'd say cream cheese is quite cheap. The condensed milk is often expensive even on sale.

@@diannahampton-dowson2224 I see :O while where I'm from, buying all the ingredients for this tart would still be way cheaper than buying just the cream cheese

I guess I should I have clarified, cream cheese is easy to find affordably in the US but not everywhere!.

[@ChageeyaSarang]

@@diannahampton-dowson2224 oh. I'm in SEAsia, so cream cheese is rather pricey, but coffee creamer & condensed milk are very affordable. & thanks for clarifying (*°∀°)=3 learning about random things is fun ^^
