Ingredients
  

For the Tart Crust
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1-2 tablespoons ice water as needed
For the Filling
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut toasted
  • 1/2 cup macadamia nuts chopped
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Prepare the Tart Crust
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the egg yolk and mix until combined. Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
  5. Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork. Chill for 10 minutes.
  6. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
Prepare the Filling
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the toasted coconut, chopped macadamia nuts, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  2. Pour the filling mixture into the pre-baked tart crust, spreading it evenly.
  3. Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden.
Serving
  1. Allow the tart to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
  2. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your tropical delight!
