Instructions
1
Rub chilled butter into the sifted flour, sugar and salt until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs, then bind with the iced water into a firm dough.
2
Wrap the dough and chill for 30 minutes, then divide in two and roll each piece thinly to line the two 8cm individual tart tins; chill again for 15 minutes.
3
Blind bake the pastry shells at 190C for 10 minutes with baking beans, then remove the beans and bake a further 5 minutes until pale gold.
4
Whisk the coconut milk, beaten egg, brown sugar, cornstarch and vanilla extract together in a saucepan and cook gently over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened to a custard, about 4 minutes.
5
Fold the toasted desiccated coconut and sliced banana through the warm custard and divide between the two baked pastry shells.
6
Bake at 180C for 15 minutes until the filling is just set with a slight wobble in the centre.
7
Cool completely on a wire rack, then scatter the extra toasted desiccated coconut over each pie just before serving.
