Time 2h20m

Yield One 10-inch tart (6 to 8 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 23

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the tart pan
3/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1 cup crushed chocolate wafer cookies, such as Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers (17 cookies) (crushed not crumbs)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
One 4-ounce semisweet chocolate bar, chopped
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
One 13.5-ounce can coconut milk
1 cup whole milk
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
Pinch of kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups sweetened flaked coconut, toasted
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract, optional
Toasted coconut chips, optional
Toasted sliced almonds, optional
Dark chocolate curls, optional

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 10-inch tart pan with a removeable bottom. Pulse the toasted almonds in a food processor until finely ground. Add the cookie crumbs, granulated sugar, and salt. Pulse until combined. Gradually add the melted butter and pulse until a dough forms. Pat the mixture into and up the sides of the tart pan. Bake until the crust is set, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Place the chocolate in a medium bowl. Bring the heavy cream and corn syrup to a simmer in a small saucepan. Pour the cream mixture over the chocolate and stir until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Pour the ganache into the prepared crust. Refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
  • For the filling: Bring the coconut milk and whole milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Meanwhile, beat the egg yolks, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a heavy stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until pale and thickened. Gradually add a quarter of the hot milk mixture, whisking constantly. Whisk in the remaining milk and return the mixture to the saucepan.
  • Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens (do not boil). Remove from the heat. Stir in the butter, vanilla, and toasted coconut. Pour into the prepared crust. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until cooled, about 30 minutes.
  • For the almond whipped cream: Beat the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Add the almond extract, if desired, and beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Spoon the whipped cream over the tart and garnish as desired.
