Do you mean what we used to call Gypsy Tart ?

Large tin evaporated milk.
12oz Dark muscovado sugar.
10in shortcrust pastry case..prebaked or buy a ready made one .

Pre heat oven to 200C/400F/gas 6.
Whisk the evaporated milk and sugar together
minutes until light and fluffy. The mix should be
coffee coloured. Pour the mix into the pastry case
and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

Or ...they sell them ready made in Asda !

Did the gypsy tart have chocolate shavings on top?? It definately sounds promising.. thanks! ;0)
No ...no choccy bits ..perhaps toffee cream tart is something different ... what about this one ..

Toffee cream Tart
7 inch pastry case
� pint milk
2 � oz margarine
1 � oz brown sugar
1 oz plain flour
3 oz golden syrup

Heat the milk but be careful not to let it boil.

Melt the margarine and sugar, then stir in the flour. Whisk in the hot milk and stir as it thickens and reaches boiling point. Keep stirring all the time while you are waiting for the mixture to boil, then cook for 2-3 minutes stirring all the time.

Remove from the heat, and add the syrup, then whisk the mixture.

Spread the filling into the flan case and serve hot or cold with whipped cream or custard .
Similar thing may do:

make up a pastry case - mix the basic pastry:
8oz self raising flour
4oz margarine
1oz milk
2oz caster sugar

and bake this blind at 190 C

Meanwhile make up the filling:
4oz margarine
3oz plain flour
6oz golden syrup
12oz warm milk

Melt the margarine and stir in flour. When mixed stir in the warm milk and stir until it thickens. Remove from heat and
cool. Add golden syrup, then pour the sticky mixture into the pastry case and allow to set.

Show off and top with choc vermicelli, choc curls or shavings, fresh raspberries steeped in strawberry liqueur, or mascarpone with lemon zest, cinnamon sugar dusting, etc etc

Or just cream whipped to soft peaks...
