    South African Milk Tart (Melktert), I’ve not tried this dessert, but it sounds lovely Borrowed shamelessly from Moosewood , loved it!!, This was very good, but it was a little more difficult than some of the other recipes I have used I wasn’t able to get my custard to be smooth, so our Milk Tart ended up lumpy, but this is most likely my lack of experience than your recipe 🙂 It was still very good, and my South African boyfriend approve so it worked out just fine Thank you very much
