Instant South African Milk Tart
Ingredients
  • 1 (4.8 ounce) package graham crackers, crushed, or as needed
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup white sugar, or to taste
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons cake flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar, or to taste
Instructions
1
Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a mixing vessel; firmly press the mixture into a pie dish.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and white sugar until smooth; incorporate cornstarch and cake flour into the mixture.
3
Heat milk and a cinnamon stick in a saucepan over low-medium heat until it reaches just below boiling point, approximately 5-10 minutes. Gradually pour the milk mixture into the egg mixture, continuously whisking to avoid lumps. Return the milk-egg mixture to the saucepan.
4
Cook the milk-egg mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until fully incorporated, followed by the addition of vanilla extract.
5
Fill the prepared pie crust with the milk mixture and sprinkle a layer of cinnamon sugar on top.
