Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup Butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Smooth peanut butter
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups Skim milk
• 2 Eggs
• 1/4 cup Cornstarch
• 1/2 cup Xylitol (or preferred sugar substitute)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, melted butter, peanut butter, and salt to form a dough.

Step 3

Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch tart pan, covering the bottom and sides. Prick the base with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine milk and vanilla extract, and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, cornstarch, and xylitol until smooth.

Step 7

Gradually add the egg mixture to the simmering milk, whisking constantly to avoid curdling.

Step 8

Continue to cook the mixture while whisking, until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 9

Once thickened, remove from heat and pour the custard filling into the prepared tart crust.

Step 10

Sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly over the top of the milk tart.

Step 11

Allow the tart to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

Step 12

Serve chilled and enjoy your Sugar-Free Milk Tart!
