Substitutions for ingredients:
- You can use salted butter instead of unsalted butter, but adjust the salt accordingly.
- If you don't have sweetened condensed milk, you can use regular condensed milk and add some sugar to the filling.
- You can use almond flour or gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour for a gluten-free version of the crust.
- You can use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
Variations:
- You can add chopped nuts, such as almonds or pecans, to the filling for extra crunch.
- You can add a layer of sliced bananas or strawberries on top of the filling before baking for a fruity twist.
- You can sprinkle some sea salt on top of the tart before serving for a salty-sweet flavor.
Tips and Tricks:
- Make sure to let the crust cool completely before adding the filling, or the filling will melt and the crust will become soggy.
- You can use a food processor to mix the crust ingredients if you don't have an electric mixer.
- If the filling is too thick, you can add some more coconut milk or heavy cream to thin it out.
- You can toast the shredded coconut in a dry pan over medium heat for a few minutes before adding it to the filling for extra flavor.
