How to Make Cremora Tart

If you enjoy easy, no-bake desserts that require minimal ingredients, learning how to make Cremora tart is a great addition to your recipe collection. Cremora tart is a popular sweet treat in South Africa, known for its creamy filling and biscuit base. It is especially loved for family gatherings, Sunday lunches, and festive occasions because it is affordable and quick to prepare. The tart combines crushed biscuits with a smooth, slightly tangy filling made using Cremora, a powdered coffee creamer that gives the dessert its signature taste. With proper mixing and chilling, you can create a delicious dessert without ever turning on the oven.

1. Ingredients You Will Need

Before you begin, gather all the ingredients and prepare your dish. Having everything ready makes the process smoother.

• 1 packet tennis biscuits or plain tea biscuits
  • 125 grams melted butter or margarine
  • 1 cup Cremora powder
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 tin condensed milk
  • ½ cup lemon juice
  • Medium-sized tart dish

Make sure the butter is fully melted but not too hot when mixing it with the biscuits.

2. Preparing the Biscuit Base

Start by crushing the biscuits into fine crumbs. You can place them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin or use a food processor for a finer texture.

Transfer the crumbs into a bowl and pour in the melted butter. Mix thoroughly until all the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your tart dish, spreading it evenly and pressing down with the back of a spoon to create a compact base. Place the dish in the refrigerator for about 20 to 30 minutes to allow the base to set.

3. Making the Creamy Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the Cremora powder and cold water. Beat well until the mixture becomes thick and creamy.

Add the condensed milk and continue mixing until smooth. Gradually pour in the lemon juice while beating. The lemon juice reacts with the condensed milk and thickens the filling naturally.

Mix until the filling becomes smooth, creamy, and slightly firm. Taste and adjust with a little more lemon juice if you prefer a stronger tangy flavor.

4. Assembling and Chilling the Tart

Remove the chilled biscuit base from the refrigerator. Pour the creamy filling over the base and spread it evenly using a spatula. Smooth the surface for a neat finish.

Return the tart to the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 3 to 4 hours, or until fully set. Proper chilling is important for clean slicing and firm texture.

Once set, slice and serve cold. You may garnish with grated lemon zest or crushed biscuits for extra presentation.
