Milk Tart
Milk tart is a very traditional tart originally from my own country South Africa. There have been many competitions on the Afrikaans DSTV channels to see who makes the best recipe. And I am sure everybody thinks their one or their aunt's, mom's or grandma's recipe is the best! This milk tart I made a lot for the oversees guests and it is really delicious. I make a crust called sweet crust pastry, a recipe from my Chef school days. Then I make the lovely filling. And I must say the almond essence in here makes it extra special for me. I served it with home made vanilla ice-cream, see on my blog cinnamon ice-cream, but read below to follow the steps on to how to make basic vanilla flavour. And to complete the delicate dessert, I made a gooseberry coulis from fresh gooseberries, sugar and water. All the overseas guests loved it! And among all the desserts, it is one of my top-rated. Most of the milk tart crust and filling ingredients are always in the pantry. It is just the almond essence I guess that not everybody always uses. Milk tart is also a morning or afternoon tea treat and can be eaten just by the slice together with a lovely coffee or tea. My mom used to make this popular tart for birthdays and special occasions and I and my brother fought who can eat out the filling pot when my mom poured the filling into the crust shells! This is a great one, I hope you enjoy it too! With warm South - African wishes.Milk tart is such a romantic dessert to share with a loved one. Ideally share under the shade of a beautiful tree
