83 · 25 minutes · This milk tart recipe is so quick to make. This recipe will show you step by step how to make a milk tart. Even though it sets almost as soon as you pour it into the cookie crust, allow for it to cool down for a few hours in the fridge before serving. It is also suitable for milk tart-in-a-cup. If you prefer a baked crust to the cookies, use our shortbread recipe to bake a crust and pour in the mix. #milktart #milktartrecipe #melktert #melktertresep #tarts #delicious #southafrican…
