Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pastry flour, cubed butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Roll out the chilled pastry and place it into a tart tin. Prick the base with a fork, line with parchment paper, and fill with weights. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden, then let cool.
- In a saucepan, whisk together the eggs and sugar until smooth. Gradually add the warmed milk and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes until it thickens. Let cool slightly.
- Spread a layer of fruit jam across the cooled pastry base, then pour the custard over the jam, smoothing with a spatula.
- Sprinkle desiccated coconut over the custard layer, covering it evenly.
- Let the tart cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Dust with icing sugar before slicing.

Notes
Chill the pastry for the best texture and let the tart rest overnight for enhanced flavor.
