Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 125 grams Unsalted butter
- 60 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 Egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 250 grams Desiccated coconut
- 1 can (approximately 397 grams) Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 23cm (9-inch) tart pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and granulated sugar. Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and rub it into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Add the egg yolk and cold water to the flour mixture and mix until it forms a dough. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit your tart pan. Gently press the dough into the pan and trim any excess edges. Prick the base with a fork and place in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the sweetened condensed milk, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
Stir in the desiccated coconut until fully combined.
Pour the coconut filling into the prepared tart crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden brown on top.
Allow the tart to cool completely in the pan before removing and slicing.
Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
