Ingredients
Scale
- Butter, for greasing the tin
- 1 sheet ready-rolled shortcrust pastry
- 575ml whole milk
- 3 tbsp custard powder
- 3 tbsp caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp raspberry jam
- 5 tbsp desiccated coconut
- Handful of raspberries, to decorate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan, gas mark 6) and grease a 22cm round loose-bottomed tart tin with butter.
- Line the tart tin with the ready-rolled shortcrust pastry and trim the excess pastry from the edges.
- Prick the base of the pastry with a fork, cover with baking parchment, fill with baking beans (or rice), and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the beans and parchment, then bake for an additional 5 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely.
- In a medium pan, combine whole milk, custard powder, caster sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir continuously over medium heat until smooth and thickened, about 5-10 minutes. Cool slightly and cover with cling film to prevent a skin from forming. Cool completely.
- Spread raspberry jam evenly over the cooled pastry base and pour the cooled custard over the jam layer, spreading evenly.
- Sprinkle desiccated coconut over the custard layer and decorate with fresh raspberries on top.
- Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set the custard before slicing and serving.
