Instructions
1
Rub cold cubed butter into sifted flour, sugar and salt until it resembles coarse crumbs, then bind with iced water into a dough; wrap and chill 20 minutes.
2
Roll the dough and line two 8cm / 3 inch individual tart tins, prick the bases, then blind bake at 190°C for 10 minutes until pale gold.
3
Warm the coconut milk gently; whisk the whole egg, egg yolk and dissolved brown sugar together, then slowly stream in the warm coconut milk, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling.
4
Stir in the vanilla extract and half the toasted desiccated coconut, then strain the custard through a sieve into the two par-baked shells.
5
Scatter the remaining toasted coconut over the tops and bake at 160°C for 25-28 minutes until the custard is just set with a gentle wobble in the centre.
6
Cool on a rack to room temperature, then chill for at least 1 hour before slicing to let the custard fully firm up.
