When the munchies hit harder than a Durban Poison spliff, do yourself a solid and have this Vegan Milk Tart baked and prepped for a sweet showdown. Because nothing says “I’ve made questionable life choices” quite like devouring a pie that’s more plant-based than a hipster’s thrift-shopping list!
The Origin of Milk Tart
The milk tart, or melktert if you’re feeling fancy and want to impress your friends, is a deliciously sweet pie that’s as South African as a braai and a good old game of rugby. Legend has it that it was created in the Cape of Good Hope back when Dutch settlers thought plain milk was just a little too, well, plain! Enter the Cape Malay slaves, who, upon seeing the bland concoction, decided to add a dash of cinnamon—because if you can’t spice things up in the kitchen, where can you? The result? A heavenly Vegan Milk Tart, creamy custard that’ll have you wondering why plain old milk ever had a chance in the first place!
