During the 20th century in the Czech Republic, especially under communist rule, imported sweets and ingredients were scarce.

Melktert (pronounced "milk-tert") is a traditional South African dessert that dates back to the 17th century, when Dutch settlers brought their custard tart recipes to the Cape Colony. The word Melktert means "milk tart" in Afrikaans. Over time, the original recipe evolved in South Africa—using more milk and less egg than its European cousins—giving it a lighter, creamier texture. It’s usually topped with cinnamon and enjoyed chilled. This chocolate twist is a modern variation, blending the rich heritage of the past with the cocoa-loving taste of today’s young chefs!
