Chocolate Coconut And Lime Tart

Nicks favourite thing…

My favourite thing about this delicious Chocolate  Coconut And Lime Tart is just how easy to make. And I love the colours of the lime filling too! I added food colouring but that’s optional. Also, can we just talk about how delicious and textured the crust is? I love chocolate, so this is a no-brainer for me, but I love the addition of coconut in this tart!

What does it taste like?

I feel like the best way to tell you how good this tart tastes is to break down the flavours and textures.

Chocolate Crust – the texture from the coconut is what I love about the crust on this tart. It’s so yum! And chocolate… I mean, c’mon. It’s chocolate! I also love that this is sweetened and set using chocolate instead of butter.

Lime Cheesecake – I love how deliciously tangy and zesty the filling is. Before I tried this recipe out, I had never experienced the delicious wonders of lime and chocolate together. I guess chocolate and orange goes well together, so why not another citrusy fruit. Or all citrus fruits!

What are the ingredients I need?

Butter – I used unsalted butter for this recipe.

Dark Chocolate – I used dark cooking chocolate for this recipe

Shredded coconut – I used sweetened coconut for this recipe but you can use unsweetened if you prefer. You’re already getting sweetness from the dark chocolate.

Cream cheese – I used clock cream cheese. The spreadable kind will not work here.

Lime – Limes! I used fresh limes of course!

Sweetened condensed milk – this helps make the filling sweet but also creamier.

Vanilla extract – Always use good quality vanilla extract.

Food colouring – This is optional. I used green and yellow food gel. The Americolor brand

• Preheat your oven to 165°C / 325°F.
• Add the chocolate and butter into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 20 seconds at a time, stirring each time until smooth.
• Add the coconut into a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate mixture and use a spatula to mix until the coconut is evenly coated.
• Transfer the coconut mixture into a 2-inch deep 9-inch round tart tin with removable lid and use the back of a spoon to press firmly against the edges and bottom, making sure it’s evenly distributed. Bake for 15 minutes. Take out of the oven and allow to cool.

Lime Cheesecake

• Next, add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and (optional) the food gels. Mix on high speed until well combined.
• Pour the mixture into your cooled tart base and chill in the fridge for 2 hours. Garnish with slices of limes and lime zest before serving.
