Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Servings: 8
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 200 g digestive or chocolate biscuits
- 100 g melted butter
For the filling:
- 200 g shredded coconut (preferably unsweetened)
- 400 ml sweetened condensed milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Preparation:
1. Start by preparing the crust. Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a food processor, crush the biscuits until you get a fine powder. If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a plastic bag and a rolling pin to crush the biscuits manually.
2. Add the melted butter over the crushed biscuits and mix well until the mixture becomes homogeneous. This will form the crunchy base of your tart.
3. Transfer the biscuit mixture to a tart pan with a removable bottom and press it evenly on the bottom and sides. Make sure it is well compacted so that it doesn’t crumble during baking. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, until it becomes slightly golden.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and gradually add the condensed milk, mixing continuously. Then, fold in the shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
5. Once the crust has cooled slightly, pour the coconut filling over it, leveling the surface with a spatula. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden around the edges.
6. Once the tart is ready, let it cool completely in the pan, then carefully remove it from the mold. You can decorate the tart with toasted coconut or whipped cream for an even more appetizing appearance.
Serving suggestions:
Serve the tart with warm chocolate sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast. The tropical flavors blend perfectly with the sweetness of the ice cream, creating an unforgettable dessert.
Variations:
For a fresh note, you can add grated lime or lemon zest to the filling. You can also experiment with different types of biscuits for the crust – chocolate biscuits add a decadent touch, while salty biscuits provide an interesting contrast.
This coconut tart is a simple yet impressive recipe, perfect for any occasion. Whether you prepare it for a party or just to treat yourself, the result will always be delicious. Cook with joy and savor every slice!
