Ingredients
- 1 sheet ready-made shortcrust pastry
- 225g (1 cup) evaporated milk
- 225g (1 cup) dark brown sugar
- Whipped cream, to serve (optional)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Roll out the shortcrust pastry and use it to line a 9-inch tart pan. Trim any excess pastry and prick the base with a fork.
- Place the evaporated milk and dark brown sugar in a bowl and whisk until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the milk and sugar mixture into the tart shell. Be careful not to overfill as it will bubble up during cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the tart is golden brown and has a slight wobble in the center.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before serving.
- Serve slices of the Gypsy Tart on their own or with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
