Filling
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup shredded coconut
Dough
1 cup Butter - room temp
6 oz cream cheese
2 cups flour

Steps:

Cream Cheese Pastry Preheat oven to 375º F. In a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream together butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add flour and blend until dough comes together. Shape dough into a disc, wrap and chill for at least 1 hour. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Place dough into an 8-inch removable bottom tart shell or pie pan and trim edges. Press edges a little, so that dough rises just above the edge of the pan, about ¼ inch. Chill for 20 minutes. Filling Whisk together all ingredients except pecans until smooth. Pour filling into chilled, unbaked tart shell. Bake tart for 25-30 minutes, until filling doesn't jiggle when you shake it, and crust is golden brown.
