Milk Tart (Melktert)

Milk tart (melktert) is a traditional South African dessert combining a simple pastry crust with a creamy filling, dusted with cinnamon. It's a little like a custard tart but lighter. It's easy to make, comforting and great for entertaining being made ahead.

There is something about a pie or tart of some kind that feels kind of special. Maybe it's the presence it has on the table. The way it makes you wonder how big a slice you will get, or that it feels like there's more effort involved.

From a practical point of view, they are great for entertaining as you can easily divide them into more or less pieces. Plus, many can be made ahead. This South African tart is a perfect example as it can be enjoyed chilled, warm or room temperature, so it's ideal for making ahead. Plus it uses very humble, readily available ingredients.
