📝 Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 200 g flour
- 100 g butter, softened
- 70 g sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 pinch of salt
For the Filling:
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 150 g sugar
- 3 eggs
- 100 g grated coconut
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
🔪 Instructions
STEP 1: Make the Dough
- Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) and butter a 23 cm (9-inch) tart pan. - Mix the Dough
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add in the softened butter and egg, then knead until a smooth, uniform dough forms. - Shape and Press
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface, then press it into the prepared tart pan. Prick the base with a fork to prevent puffing.
STEP 2: Prepare the Filling
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, sugar, eggs, grated coconut, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well blended.
- Fill the Pie
Pour the coconut filling over the crust and smooth the top.
STEP 3: Bake
- Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling has set with a gentle wobble.
- Let cool slightly in the pan before unmolding.
STEP 4: Serve
Slice into wedges and enjoy warm for a custardy feel, or chilled for a firmer texture — both are delicious!
Top with a dollop of whipped cream or a light dusting of powdered sugar for extra flair.
