Ingredients

  • For the crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter cold and cubed
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the filling:
  • 1 cup coconut cream the thick part from a chilled can
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut toasted, optional
  • For the topping:
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple well drained
  • Extra toasted coconut for garnish
  • Fresh mint leaves for a pop of color optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a tart pan and grease it—no sticking drama here.
  • Make the crust: mix flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Press into the tart pan and bake 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  • Let the crust cool a bit while you whisk the filling. In a bowl, whisk coconut cream, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Pour the filling into the warm crust. Return to the oven and bake 20–25 minutes, until the center is set but a touch wiggly. Don’t overbake—nobody likes a rubbery tart.
  • Cool completely, then top with pineapple. If you’re feeling fancy, dust with toasted coconut and a few mint leaves.
  • Slice and serve. Optional: pair with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
