Tant’ Sannie se Melktert Liqueur – A Classic Dessert with a Kick
Inspired by Tant’ Sannie’s beloved traditional milk tart recipe, this creamy liqueur captures the comforting flavours of a true South African favourite. Think of it as melktert in a glass — smooth, indulgent and lightly spiced. It’s delicious served as a chilled shooter, enjoyed neat over ice, or finished with a light dusting of cinnamon for that authentic milk tart touch.
It also makes a fantastic ingredient in desserts, adding a rich, nostalgic flavour to sweet treats like brownies, cheesecakes and trifles.
Serving Suggestion: Chocolate Brownie & Melktert Cheesecake Trifles
Soften 250 g cream cheese and gently combine with 2 cups whipped cream. Sift in 70 g icing sugar and fold through 4 tablespoons of Tant’ Sannie se Melktert liqueur (add a little extra if you prefer a stronger flavour).
Crumble chocolate brownies into individual glasses, spoon over a layer of the cream cheese mixture, and repeat the layers. Finish with a light dusting of cocoa powder and drizzle over an extra splash of chilled Tant’ Sannie se Melktert liqueur before serving.
A decadent dessert that’s guaranteed to impress — and a perfect way to enjoy a true taste of South Africa. 🇿🇦🥧🥃
