To make this Coconut Custard Tart with Spiced Cookie Crust, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Spiced Cookie Crust:

- 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt

For the Coconut Custard Filling:

- 1 can of coconut milk
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup of cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan, making sure to press it up the sides of the pan. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is lightly golden brown.
While the crust is baking, prepare the coconut custard filling. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, sugar, eggs, cornstarch, and salt. Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and begins to boil.
Remove the custard from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the custard into the baked crust and smooth it out with a spatula.
Bake the tart for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the custard is set and the edges are lightly golden brown. Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing and serving.
This Coconut Custard Tart with Spiced Cookie Crust is a perfect combination of sweet and spicy flavors. The spiced cookie crust adds a unique twist to the classic coconut custard tart, making it a standout dessert. This dish is best served chilled and garnished with fresh berries or whipped cream.
