Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Whole grain digestive biscuits
- 75 grams Unsalted butter
- 500 milliliters Low-fat milk
- 50 grams Vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 large Eggs
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a food processor, crush the whole grain digestive biscuits into fine crumbs.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Combine the biscuit crumbs and melted butter in a mixing bowl, stirring until the crumbs are fully coated.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the base of a 23cm (9-inch) tart pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the low-fat milk and vanilla protein powder, whisking until the powder is fully dissolved.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little cold water to make a smooth paste.
Add the cornstarch paste, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the milk mixture, stirring continuously over medium heat.
Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl, then slowly add them to the warm milk mixture while whisking continuously to avoid curdling.
Continue to stir the mixture over medium heat until it thickens and reaches a custard-like consistency.
Remove from heat and gently fold in the Greek yogurt until well combined.
Pour the custard filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Allow the tart to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Before serving, sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly over the top of the milk tart.
Slice and enjoy your high protein milk tart!
