Tarts are thought to have either come from a tradition of layering food or to be a product of Medieval pie making. Enriched dough (i.e. shortcrust) is thought to have been first commonly used in 1550, approximately 200 years after pies. In this period, they were viewed as high-cuisine, popular with nobility, in contrast to the view of a commoner's pie. While originally savory, with meat fillings, culinary tastes led to sweet tarts prevailing, filling tarts instead with fruit and custard.[2] Early medieval tarts generally had meat fillings, but later ones were often based on fruit and custard.[3]

A gypsy tart is a type of tart made with evaporated milk, muscovado (though some varieties include light brown sugar), and pastry. It originates from the Isle of Sheppey in the county of Kent.[1]

The tart is extremely sweet and is, for many people, associated with school dinners. Although most will know the version of gypsy tart made with evaporated milk, it can also be made with condensed milk in place of evaporated milk. This makes a firmer and even sweeter tart, with a darker colour.[2] A legend says that a woman invented the tart to feed hungry gypsy children.
