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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 23cm (9-inch) tart pan.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Stir in the desiccated coconut until fully combined.

Step 7

Pour the coconut filling into the prepared tart crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden brown on top.

Step 9

Allow the tart to cool completely in the pan before removing and slicing.

Step 10

Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
