Gypsy Tart

Method

  1. Whisk milk to double volume, and then fold in the sugar and lemon juice with a folk or hand whisk/beater until mixture thickens to quite firm. (More lemon juice can be added DROP BY DROP - No more than a teaspoon or it will be TOO lemony.
  2. Pour into base
  3. Cook in a warm oven at around 100 degrees for about 40 to 45 minutes or until firm to touch.

Lovely hot or cold served with a knob of fresh cream.. Yummy!

Ingredients

Evaporated Milk

Where did Gypsy Tart come from?

This Pudding originates from the 2nd World War in County of Kent England.

Apparently a school dinner lady saw some starving gypsy children outside the school gates.

All this lady had was some pastry, some evaporated milk and some sugar so she invented this pie/tart to feed them with.
