directions
- CRUST:.
- Crush cookies in a food processor. Add the coconut and butter, pulsing until mositened. Press into a 9" tart pan with removable bottom (I just use my springform pan).
- Bake @ 350* oven, until crust is golden and firm. This should take about 15 minutes. Let cool.
- FILLING:.
- Whisk milk, sugar and cornstarch together in a heavy saucepan.
- Whisk in the cream of coconut syrup and lime rind.
- Bring to simmer over medium heat and stir constantly. Simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg yolk. Whisk in the hot milk mixture, then pour back in pan and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring all the time.
- Stir in the lime juice and coconut extract.
- Pour into bowl. Cover surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold - about 2 hours.
- Whisk the filling to loosen. In a separate bowl, whip the cream, then fold it into the filling. Scrape into crust and smooth top.
- Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
- TOPPING:.
- Whip cream. Pipe or spoon 6-8 rosettes around edge of tart.
- Cut each lime slice into quarters and place one in each cream rosette.
