Meaning milk tart in Afrikaans melktert is a South African dessert. It is a sweet pastry crust containing a creamy filling made from milk flour sugar and eggs. The ratio of milk to egg is higher than in a traditional European custard tart or Chinese egg tart resulting in a lighter texture and a stronger milk flavour. Some recipes require the custard to be baked in the crust and others call for the custard to be prepared in advance and then placed in the crust before serving.
