The tart is extremely sweet and is, for many people, associated with school dinners. Although most commonly made with evaporated milk, condensed milk may be used in its place. This makes for a firmer and even sweeter tart, with a darker colour.[2] A legend says that a woman invented the tart to feed hungry Romani (Gypsy) children.[3][4]
