Gypsy tart

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A gypsy tart is a type of cake made with evaporated milk, muscovado sugar (though some prefer light brown sugar), and pie crust. It originates from northwest Kent in England, and is little known outside that area. As would be expected, the tart is extremely sweet and is for many people associated with school dinners.
