Melktert is a creamy, custard-like dessert with a sweet pastry crust and a sprinkling of cinnamon on top.

Its a true delight for the taste buds, but it can also be quite heavy on sugar.

Over time, the recipe evolved and became an integral part of South African cuisine.

The custard is delicately flavoured with vanilla and cinnamon, giving it a unique and comforting taste.

To create low-sugar melktert cups, the traditional recipe is modified to reduce the amount of added sugar.

However, the sugar content is reduced by using sugar alternatives or natural sweeteners.
