Ingredients: (for a ~28 cm diameter tart pan)

For the crust:

• 100 g cold butter
• 30 g brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• About 180 g flour
• A few tablespoons of water

For the coconut pudding:

• 800 ml coconut milk
• 5 heaping tablespoons cornstarch
• 200 g brown sugar
• 5 eggs
• A bowl of shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 400 ml milk

Optional – Cream Cheese for Serving:

• 200 g plain cream cheese
• 80-100 g powdered vanilla sugar

Preparation:

Start by making the dough. In a food processor, combine all the ingredients for the dough, leaving out the water. Gradually add the water as needed, just enough to bring the dough together and achieve the right consistency.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or place it in a bag and chill it in the freezer for about 30 minutes.

While the dough chills, prepare the coconut pudding. Combine all the pudding ingredients in a pot, whisk them together, and place the pot over medium heat. Stir constantly with a whisk until the mixture begins to boil and thickens into a creamy consistency.

Once the pudding is cooked, remove it from the heat. Preheat the oven to 170°C. After the dough has chilled for 30 minutes, take it out of the freezer and roll it out on a floured surface using a rolling pin. Carefully transfer the dough to a baking pan with a removable bottom, lined with parchment paper. Place it in the oven and bake until it turns golden brown and slightly crisp. Once done, remove it from the oven, let it cool slightly, then pour the coconut pudding over the crust.

Decorate the tart as you like, then refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours.

For the cream cheese topping, simply blend the cream cheese and powdered sugar with a mixer until smooth. Serve it alongside the tart, drizzling it over each portion.
