How to Make South African Melktert Milk Tart
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 4 large egg yolks, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons custard powder until completely smooth.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well combined.
- Pour the custard mixture into a 9-inch baked pie crust. (Use a store-bought or your favorite homemade recipe).
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and lightly golden around the edges. The center should still have a slight jiggle.
- Let the tart cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the custard to set properly.
- (Optional) For a richer flavor, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold them into the cooked custard mixture before baking.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon before serving. Enjoy!
