Ingredients
Scale
- For the Crust:
- 200g Marie biscuits – These sweet biscuits form the base of your tart and provide a delightful crunch.
- 100g melted butter – The butter binds the crushed biscuits together and lends a rich flavor.
- For the Filling:
- 1 can (395g) sweetened condensed milk – This gives the filling its creamy texture and enhances the sweetness.
- 100g grated coconut – Fresh or dried, this ingredient adds a tropical flair and chewy texture.
- 1 tbsp butter – A small amount of butter is used to enhance the richness of the filling.
- For the Topping:
- 1 cup chopped tropical fruits (such as pineapple, mango, and kiwi) – A vibrant mix of fruits adds color and freshness.
- 1/4 cup sugar – Used to sweeten the fruit and create a delicious juicy topping.
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
- In a large bowl, crush 200g of Marie biscuits until you have fine crumbs.
- Pour in 100g of melted butter and mix well until combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan to form an even crust.
- Make the Filling:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 can (395g) of sweetened condensed milk, 100g of grated coconut, and 1 tbsp of butter.
- Stir continuously as the mixture heats, until it thickens to a custardy consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once thickened, pour the filling over the prepared crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Allow the tart to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour until set.
- Prepare the Fruit Topping:
- While the tart is cooling, prepare the topping by chopping 1 cup of seasonal tropical fruits of your choice.
- In a small saucepan, combine the chopped fruits with 1/4 cup of sugar.
- Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the fruits release their juices. Stir occasionally and let cool.
- Assemble Your Tart:
- Once the tart filling is set and your fruit is cooled, carefully spoon the fruit mixture over the top of the coconut filling.
- Serve immediately, or return the tart to the refrigerator until ready to serve.
