Making milk tart - This has got to be South African's favourite dessert!

Hi everyone - Hope you are all keeping well after the recent heavy rains we have had!
Milk tart or Melk tert has surely got to be South African's favourite dessert. With so many public holidays coming up we thought it was the perfect time to try out a milk tart recipe using Woolies milk tart recipe as the basis. It turned out well the first time we tried so we decided to film it for the channel!

I am very happy i came across your Milktart recipe, Gaithree. It's currently just before 22:00 in the evening, and I'm waiting for the crust to come out of the oven so i can put the filling in. Best recipe for a late night Milktart craving, and it was so easy to make. ❤

That hint of love that goes with all mom's baking. Somehow I stumbled onto your page and I am really glad. I love your baking, and tonight I am making your bread and butter pudding. Like you, when I use eggs, I also first break it into a different bowl. Love from Cape Town.

[@ami4764]

Thank you aunty for the lovely recipe. What can i use to substitute the eggs in the recipe?

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Let me ask Pranesh to do some research and get back to you. For the filling it may be possible to use custard powder and make a custard filling- so it becomes a custard tart. However I’m not sure for the pastry base.

[@ami4764]

@@GaithreeDeviLuckan thank you 🙏

[@anitakila3239]

Hello I normally make mine eggless so I hope you don’t mind me sharing here. Just add a few drops of ice water to bind the dough. Or you can make a eggless biscuit dough. Pre bake your shell then add the milk tart filling and refrigerate it for a few hours.

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

@@anitakila3239 thanks Anita. What filling do you use?

[@anitakila3239]

@@GaithreeDeviLuckan , a filling of corn flour (Maziena) and plain flour equal tablespoons spoons of both. With the usual sugar and vanilla essence.

Well done. Since I dont have an oven, can I use a biscuit base? Oma Monica A. SUPARYANTO, Indonesia

[@viwekaptein7548]

Can you use the cheesecake biscuit base as a milktart base?

[@carefreedelight2355]

I have never made a milk tart , and a custard tart , which I am assuming is the English equivalent sounds dreary. So I am going to give it a go. By cake flour do you mean plain or self- raising flour? Thank you and sorry for the silly question - but for me it is unclear. I make my cakes with self easing flour, but some cakes use plain flour and you add your own rising agents!!!!

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

We used plain flour and added in the baking powder. It’s always great to clarify and we should have been more clear.

[@carefreedelight2355]

Thank you, I am sure you did. I was watching it late at night and missed the baking powder bit!!! Thank you so much.

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

@@joycevanloggenberg1284 the filling sets very quick. Did the filling perhaps cool too much? Could also be that it was left too long to thicken on the stove perhaps. You need to get it off the stove as soon as it starts to thicken up. May take some practice to get it it right…
