27-year-old chef shares his modern-day twist on a South African classic, perfect for summer: a lekker milk tart with lush cinnamon Chantilly cream.

Kimberley-born Chef Katlego Molefi says he has always been inspired to create out-of-the-box recipes by cooking with the contents of his home pantry. The 27-year-old has been living on the East African archipelago of the Seychelles for two-years working as a chef de partie at the popular beach restaurant La Plage.

The young chef recently started his own part-time mobile food business called Café a la Maison in Kimberley and he’s shared a modern twist on the South African classic – milk tart with a creamy cinnamon chantilly.

Milk tart is an undeniably delectable Mzansi treasure. The revered classic can be found on Sunday lunch spreads in the homes of many South Africans. Closely related to the Portuguese “pasteis de nata” – a custard-filled pastry – the “melktert” forms an intricate part of our South African Dutch heritage.

THE NEW FACE OF SOUTH AFRICAN AGRICULTURE

With 11 global awards in the first three years of its existence, Food For Mzansi is much more than an agriculture publication. It is a movement, unashamedly saluting the unsung heroes of South African agriculture. We believe in the power of agriculture to promote nation building and social cohesion by telling stories that are often overlooked by broader society.
