Henro Marie Biscuits

The classic base for melktert and cheesecake — and a childhood favourite in its own right.

Marie biscuits are the plain, lightly sweet biscuit South Africans grew up dunking in tea or stacking with butter icing between each layer. They're also the go-to base for melktert, custard tart and cheesecake — crushed and pressed into the tin the way digestives are used in the UK.

Simple, versatile, and useful well beyond just snacking.

Frequently asked:

• Can I use Marie biscuits for a tart base? Yes — they're the traditional base for melktert, custard tart and cheesecake, crushed the same way you'd use digestives.
• What do Marie biscuits taste like? Plain and lightly sweet, similar in spirit to a rich tea biscuit but firmer.
• How long do they last? Check the best-before date on the pack; unopened, they store well in a cool, dry place.
