About This Recipe

Cremora tart is one of those fridge desserts every South African family seems to have a version of, and this one keeps it refreshingly simple: Cremora and LANCEWOOD® Double Cream Plain Yoghurt set thick with condensed milk and lemon juice.

No baking and no gelatine here, the lemon juice alone is what sets the Cremora, yoghurt and condensed milk filling into something thick enough to slice. LANCEWOOD® Double Cream Plain Yoghurt keeps it from tasting flat-out sweet, giving the whole tart a lighter edge.

This is the tart made the night before a family gathering and pulled from the fridge just as everyone arrives, sliced and topped with strawberries while it is still cold enough to hold its shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an easy cremora tart recipe?

Yes, there is no baking or gelatine involved. The lemon juice thickens the filling as you beat it in, and the fridge does the rest.

How long does a cremora tart need to set?

4 to 5 hours in the fridge, until the filling is firm enough to slice.

Can I use a different biscuit for the crust?

Tennis biscuits are traditional here, but any similar plain biscuit would work in the same way.

Why does the filling use yoghurt as well as Cremora?

LANCEWOOD® Double Cream Plain Yoghurt adds a smooth, slightly tangy base that balances the sweetness of the Cremora and condensed milk.

What do you serve with a cremora tart?

Freshly sliced strawberries, though other fresh fruit would work just as well.
