Milk Tart (Melktert)

My ‘ouma’ South African grandmother’s legendary milk tart. It is lip-smacking. The recipe is a real winner. It is a traditional South African tart that is very easy to prepare.

Lemon Posset

This is a decadent creamy, zesty dessert best served with thin crispy wafer biscuits. Adding fruit gives this dish another dimension and you can even add a biscuit base to turn it into a tart. Want a show stopper? Add an Italian meringue top to the tart and serve in slices with Chantilly cream.
