Milk tart, or "melktert," is a classic South African dessert with Dutch origins. This creamy pastry consists of a sweet, buttery crust filled with a delicate custard made from milk, sugar, eggs, and flour or cornstarch, often flavored with vanilla and topped with a dusting of cinnamon. Milk tart's signature characteristic is its light, milky filling, making it less rich compared to similar custard desserts. While the dessert is high in calcium due to its milk base, it can also be calorie-dense and contains refined sugar and flour, which may affect blood sugar levels. Moderation is key when enjoying this beloved treat, as it provides comfort and flavor as part of South Africa’s culinary heritage.
