Gypsy tart is a traditional dessert with its roots in Spanish pastry-making, known for its simplicity and characteristic flavor. Throughout Latin America, this sweet treat has adopted different names and variations depending on the country. In some places it is called "evaporated milk tart", due to the predominant use of this ingredient, while in others it is simply known as "Spanish tart". Its name, "gypsy", could refer to the exotic and special mix of its ingredients, which provides a sweet and mild flavor highly appreciated for breakfasts and snacks.
Although the original recipe is usually simple, it has transcended borders by adapting to local tastes and the availability of ingredients. It is common for this tart to be served with coffee or tea, and its light texture makes it ideal for those looking for a sweet dessert that is not too heavy.
