A WORD FROM THE CHEF

(Serves eight)

For the base

220g digestive biscuits

20g desiccated coconut

125g butter, melted

Zest of one lime

130ml lime juice

Place the biscuits into the Kenwood food processor and blitz until smooth.

Into a bowl, mix this biscuit crumb with the coconut and melted butter.

Spoon this into a 22cm loose bottom tart tin.

Using a spoon, press down the mixture to cover the base and sides.

Chill this for 30 minutes.

While chilling, preheat the oven to 160C fan.

To make the filling, into a bowl add all the ingredients and mix well.

Pour this into the chilled base and place in the centre of the preheated oven.

Bake for 18-20 minutes.

Remove and allow to cool for 15 minutes before chilling until cold.

To make the topping, into your Kenwood stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the cream until thick.

Open the container of coconut cream and use the firm cream at the top, discarding any liquid.

Add this thick coconut cream and icing sugar to the cream and whisk to incorporate.

To serve, remove the tart from the tin, spoon the coconut cream on top and spread to cover.

Finish by zesting some lime zest over the top.
