Quick and easy microwave milk tart
Ingredients:
397g tin condensed milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
Using the condensed milk tin as a measure, measure 3 full tins of milk
1 tbsp vanilla essence
4 tbsp cornflour, diluted in a little of the milk from above
1 packet Tennis biscuits, crushed
½ cup butter, melted
Powdered cinnamon
Method:
In a bowl, mix the biscuit crumbs with the butter and set aside.
In a separate (microwavable) bowl, place the condensed milk, milk, beaten egg, and corn flour.
Whisk all the ingredients together.
Microwave the mixture for 4 minutes, remove the bowl from the microwave and whisk vigorously.
Return the bowl to the microwave and whisk every 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
This should take about 12-15 minutes.
Now add the vanilla essence to the mixture and stir to incorporate.
Pour the mixture over the biscuit base, cool and refrigerate for at least 4 hours but ideally overnight.
Before serving, dust the cinnamon over the milk tart. Slice and serve.
