A homemade Blissful No Bake Custard Milk Tart recipe with condensed milk. Tennis biscuit base makes an easy fridge tart dessert.
Blissful No Bake Custard Milk Tart.
A blissful no cook and no bake custard and condensed milk tart with tennis biscuit base dessert is so easy and delicious. A South African recipe idea that is similar to fridge tarts. A pleasing dessert to make on a stove top and chill in the fridge for tea time. Powdered with cinnamon on the top. Love this south African blissful custard milk tart that is very versatile and may be used in mini tartlets or trifles.
Why is my milk tart not setting?
Allow the milk tart to cool at room temperature. It may not be setting as you did not use enough custard and corn starch to thicken it or cook it enough until it was thickened. Be sure to use the best quality ingredients.
Can you freeze milktart?
Milk tart can be made up to 2 days in advance and kept covered in the fridge. Leftover will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freezing is not recommended as the custard might change texture once thawed. But does freeze well for a short period of time.
What is the best substitute for tennis biscuits?
You can substitute the South African made tennis biscuits for any coconut biscuits or graham crackers. Any type of coconut or plain biscuits you can purchase in the country you live in will do. If you would like the coconut flavor of the biscuit then add some desiccated coconut to the biscuit and mix in.

What is interesting about milk tart?
The milk tart or melk tert (in afrikaans) is one of the South Africas most traditional sweet tart or pie. It originated by the Dutch settlers in the cape of good hope. Dutch settlers introduced the milk based filling and the Cape Malays added the cinnamon flavor. The result is a rich, creamy custard filling with a hint of cinnamon.
You get the milk tart that is almost like a fridge tart and is not baked in the oven. Then there is the traditional oven baked milk tart with a pastry bottom.
Once the paste mixtures made mix it into the hot milk and keep stirring until thick. Sprinkle with cinnamon for extra taste and cool on a cooling rack at room temperature for at least an hour. When cool enough place in the fridge to set further.
An amazing no bake winner of a custard milk tart, very versatile.
Use for a trifle with or without other ingredients. Simply make the biscuit base then layer the custard milk tart over, layer the biscuit again. Continue in this manner and sprinkle a cinnamon pattern on top. Favorite.
