Thanks! Will post a picture as soon as possible.


This is a true South African favorite!

I miss this one lots...
It is really good for tea time or when you have guests. Not too sweet, custardy flavor with melt in your mouth texture. Really yummy!!
Thanks Liezel :)


Thanks Liezel... will be nice to try a delicious recipe from far away... I will tell you!


My friend from South Africa makes Milk Tarts when we all get together, they are out of this world.She also introduced me to Lychee Nuts(believe that's the correct spelling). During the summer their is a small window when you can have your local produce store order them .


Liezel this one is great too.It is close to a creme brulee tart,isn't it??


Almost.But still different. Making it this weekend and will be posying better pics on monday.


This looks and reads so darn good! Actually, good isn't the word but because I am in a hurry and don't have a lot of time on my hands, good will have to do for now ;-) Thank you so very much for sharing this recipe with all of us. Cheers!!!


I love milk tarts,
I'm saving the recipe for this weekend, thanks


Just sent ground cinnamon to our son in Ireland so he can make milk tart. Just one of the things he misses from home.
