Coconut TartMarcus Nilsson

This tart is simply all about the coconut—a flavor that Southeast Asians go wild for. Don't expect a gooey, cloying confection, though; this one is a buttery shell chock-full of chewy shredded coconut.

Cooks' notes:

· Tart shell can be baked 1 day ahead and kept, wrapped in plastic wrap, at room temperature.
· Tart is best the day it is baked but can be baked 1 day ahead and chilled (once cool), loosely covered with foil. Reheat in a 350°F oven, uncovered, until pastry is crisp, 10 to 15 minutes.
