Ingredients
- For the crust:
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
- 1 egg yolk
- 1–2 tbsp cold water
- For the filling:
- 1 ½ cups shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Make the Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a food processor, combine flour, powdered sugar, and butter. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the egg yolk and pulse again until it comes together. Gradually add cold water (1 tablespoon at a time) until the dough forms.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface and press it into a tart pan. Trim any excess dough from the edges.
- Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes before baking.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, vanilla, and salt.
- Stir in the shredded coconut.
- Pour the filling into the partially baked tart shell.
- Bake the Tart:
- Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the tart cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can use either sweetened or unsweetened coconut, but sweetened will give a richer taste.
- Make sure the tart cools completely before slicing to avoid the filling from spilling out.
