A tropical and elegant tart featuring a crisp graham cracker crust, silky coconut cream filling, and fresh mango slices for a bright and refreshing dessert.

Ingredients

  • For the crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • For the coconut cream filling:
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
  • For the topping:
  • 2 ripe mangoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into a tart pan and bake for 10 minutes. Allow the crust to cool completely.
  3. In a saucepan, heat coconut milk and heavy cream over medium heat until warm but not boiling.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks.
  5. Slowly pour the warm coconut mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly.
  6. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until thickened and it coats the back of a spoon.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and coconut extracts.
  8. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, until fully set.
  10. Before serving, arrange mango slices decoratively on top and sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes if desired.

Notes

  • Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice for extra brightness.
  • A shortbread crust can be used for a richer flavor.
  • Chill the crust instead of baking for a no-bake option, though baking improves texture.
  • Add mango topping just before serving for best appearance.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze without mango topping if needed; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
