Vietnamese Coconut Custard Tart
A Vietnamese take on the classic egg tart, this coconut custard tart pairs a crisp, buttery shortcrust shell with a silky coconut milk and egg custard baked to a gentle wobble. Finished with toasted desiccated coconut, it leans fragrant and tropical rather than purely eggy.

Instructions
1
Rub cold cubed butter into sifted flour, sugar and salt until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs, then bind with iced water into a dough.
2
Shape the dough into a disc, wrap and chill for 20 minutes to relax the gluten before rolling.
3
Roll the dough thin and line 2 x 8cm individual tart tins, pressing into the corners and trimming excess; prick the bases with a fork.
4
Chill the lined tins for 10 minutes, then blind bake at 190°C for 10 minutes until the pastry is pale gold; cool slightly on a wire rack.
5
Whisk together coconut milk, whole egg, egg yolk, sugar, coconut cream and vanilla extract until smooth, then strain through a sieve to remove any lumps.
6
Pour the custard into the warm tart shells, filling almost to the brim.
7
Bake at 160°C for 18-20 minutes until the custard is just set with a slight wobble in the centre.
8
Cool the tarts completely on a wire rack, then scatter with toasted desiccated coconut just before serving.
