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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a food processor, crush the whole grain digestive biscuits into fine crumbs.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

Step 4

Combine the biscuit crumbs and melted butter in a mixing bowl, stirring until the crumbs are fully coated.

Step 5

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the base of a 23cm (9-inch) tart pan to form the crust.

Step 6

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 7

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the low-fat milk and vanilla protein powder, whisking until the powder is fully dissolved.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little cold water to make a smooth paste.

Step 9

Add the cornstarch paste, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the milk mixture, stirring continuously over medium heat.

Step 10

Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl, then slowly add them to the warm milk mixture while whisking continuously to avoid curdling.

Step 11

Continue to stir the mixture over medium heat until it thickens and reaches a custard-like consistency.

Step 12

Remove from heat and gently fold in the Greek yogurt until well combined.

Step 13

Pour the custard filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 14

Allow the tart to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set.

Step 15

Before serving, sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly over the top of the milk tart.

Step 16

Slice and enjoy your high protein milk tart!
