Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Base:
  • 200 g Marie biscuits
  • 100 g butter melted
  • Filling:
  • 400 ml milk
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp custard powder or arrowroot/cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • Pinch of cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the base:
  • Crush the Marie biscuits finely (use a food processor or place them in a zip bag and crush with a rolling pin).
  • Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter until well combined.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the base of a square or rectangular dish (about 20×20 cm).
  • Place in the fridge to set while you make the filling.
  • Make the filling:
  • In a small bowl, mix the custard powder with a few tablespoons of milk to form a smooth paste.
  • In a saucepan, heat the remaining milk and sugar over medium heat until warm (do not boil).
  • Gradually whisk in the custard paste. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and a pinch of cinnamon.
  • Assemble:
  • Pour the warm custard mixture over the chilled biscuit base.
  • Smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top, if desired.
  • Chill & serve:
  • Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours (or overnight) until fully set.
  • Cut into squares and enjoy your creamy, nostalgic milk tart treat!
