No-bake milk tart recipe with a biscuit base and creamy cinnamon custard

Creating a delicious milk tart does not require baking or a hot oven. A no-bake milk tart recipe offers an easier alternative. Begin by preparing the biscuit base. Crush tennis biscuits, mix them with melted butter, and press the mixture into a dish. This forms the foundation for the creamy milk tart filling. The custard filling is prepared on the stove, adding sweetness and flavor with condensed milk.

Cinnamon and vanilla contribute to the South African taste. The custard should be thickened on the stove, but it shouldn't be so thick that it's hard to pour. It will firm up even more in the refrigerator. Keep the heat moderate during cooking, and continue whisking continuously to keep the filling smooth. Various biscuit choices can be used, like plain tea biscuits, digestive biscuits, or Graham crackers.

The crumbs should be fine, and the biscuit mixture should be firmly pressed into the dish. Once the custard filling has thickened, refrigerate it for several hours until it sets. Slicing and serving the no-bake milk tart then becomes a simple task, as no baking is involved in the process.
