Description
Try this Quick, Easy, Tasty Microwave Milk Tart Filling – a dessert perfect for those late-night cravings or last-minute guests. Whip up some Milk Tart today.
Ingredients
- 40 ml cake flour (I use Easy Blending Flour, but regular will do)
- 40 ml Birds Custard Powder
- 500 ml milk
- 2 eggs (room temperature)
- 40–50 ml White Sugar (or more if you prefer it sweeter)
- 6 ml vanilla essence
Instructions
- Mix the flour and custard powder with ± 62.5 ml of the milk.
- Place the rest of the milk in a microwave bowl and bring it to a boil in the microwave.
- Slowly add the boiled milk to the flour/custard mixture, vigorously stirring (a regular hand whisk does the job), and mix thoroughly to prevent lumps.
- Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla and add to the above mixture, mix through.
- Continue to microwave until thickened at 1-minute increments (this will depend on your microwave), 2-3 minutes.
- Let it rest and cool.
- You can spoon the filling into one regular tart-size base before it is set
- I prefer to leave it until cold and fully set and then use a star nozzle and piping bag and pipe it in small, prebaked tart casings for single servings.
- Dust with cinnamon before serving.

This is a fantastic idea! I love how quickly they can be made in the microwave – just wish I hadn’t replaced mine with an air fryer! 🙁 Sim x #SSPS
I will not be able to function without my Microwave as we use it a lot, the same as the AF. That’s the only two big ‘cooking; appliances I have and will not be without them if possible.
I love desserts and this does look delicious!
