Melkkos, simply translated to “Milk food”, is a traditional South African dessert. Make your grandmother proud with this ultimate comfort food. The only negative is that now your family will keep asking you to make it!
Using spaghetti is optional, it just makes this dish go further and is super delicious.
The best part of this dish is that you will mostly always have these ingredients on hand.
