In this tart, I've added coconut and rum to give a sense of the exotic. Simply serve with a scoop of good quality vanilla ice cream.

1. Preheat an oven to 180C.

2. Into a food processor place the flour, butter and sugar. Blitz until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the egg and blitz to make a dough. On a lightly floured bench, roll the pastry to fit a 23cm tin. Bake the pastry blind for 15 minutes, then remove.

3. To make the filling, combine well the eggs, sugar, coconut, coconut cream, rum and passionfruit pulp in a bowl. Pour into the tart tin and return to the oven for 35 minutes until
just set.
