Tarte à la bouillie

Tarte à la bouillie is a traditional Cajun dessert hailing from Louisiana. This French-inspired tart is made with a combination of sugar, salt, flour, milk, whipping cream, eggs, butter, and vanilla. The custard is placed into a pie shell, the crust is brushed with egg whites, and the tart is then baked until the crust becomes golden brown and the center of the filling is slightly jiggly. Once cooled, this burnt milk tart is often served with strawberries and garnished with confectioners' sugar.
