In keeping with the #AfroChic theme I wanted to recreate a favourite SouthAfrican pudding using the phyllo pastry and what better dessert to go with than the ever popular milk tart
We challenged three Institute of Culinary Arts students to revamp the traditional SouthAfrican milk tart, and here are there three delicious, and very different, takes
Milk Tart is one of my favourite traditional SouthAfrican desserts and with National Milk Tart Day being celebrated on Friday 37 February, I thought it was a perfect excuse to make some. (If you can resist, the milk tart will keep for 4 days in the fridge)
'Melktert, which means "milk tart" in Afrikaans, is a SouthAfrican dessert consisting of a sweet pastry crust containing a creamy filling made from milk, flour, sugar and eggs
As winter makes itself at home here in the Southern Hemisphere, it is time to move from fridgetarts, cheesecakes and fruit salads to the warm comfort of baked puddings and other sweet treats that you can drape with custard
The Auret is what is known as a SouthAfrican blend (Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinotage) and was the first of its kind to win five stars in the prestigious Platter Wine Guide
The SouthAfrican cold press extra virgin Olive Oil is produced in the Riversdale area, has a whiff of fresh cut grass and aromas of green tomatoes, almonds artichokes and green apples

I do love traditional Christmas desserts, the rich puddings in all their fruity, custardy glory, but I know that these are not everyone’s favourites and not really suited to our hot SouthAfrican Christmas
I thought I would submit this to Johanna's Sugar High Friday event - the theme is 'sweet specialities' and I'm taking it upon myself to see that South Africa's puddings are adequately represented, so this Milk Tart and this Malva Pudding will fly the flag for SA along with Jeanne's Peppermint Crisp Fridge Tart
Since we are in the middle of the SouthAfrican summer I try to stay as far away from the oven as possible and it helps when my hubby spends more time preparing meals on the braai (barbeque)
Everybody knows the best way to a SouthAfrican man’s heart is through a braai. Today Peppermint Crisp Tart jostles with the mighty Malva Pudding for the title of South Africa’s favourite traditional dessert and whilst Malva Pudding may have a greater claim to that crown, Peppermint Crisp Tart must come a very close second
This morning's show was all about 'Christmas with a SouthAfrican twist' because although we love traditional dishes like mince pies and christmas cake, let's be honest, they're not our traditions but rather very European
That’s a mouthful, but so are these traditionally SouthAfrican mini desserts. 4) Sprinkle the remaining peppermint crisp over the top and place in the fridge for 1 hour to set
