This creamy, insanely delicious and not too sweet milk tart recipe with an intense vanilla and cinnamon flavor is absolutely to die for!! Made with very simple ingredients that you always have on hand. Makes a perfect anytime dessert!

Milk tart also known as melktert is basically a cinnamon and vanilla flavored pudding/ custard tart that’s popular in South Africa but also in Namibia. Just like malva pudding you’ll find it on almost every restaurant/ lodge Menu countrywide.

This melk tert recipe is unbelievably easy to make, uses simple ingredients and tastes amazing. Made up of a beautifully crumbly pie crust that’s blind baked and filled with (unbaked) custard/ pudding with a great hint of vanilla and cinnamon, then chilled and dusted with cinnamon before serving.

A must have recipe for creamy dessert lovers!!
