Method

Make it happen

  1. 01

    Rub butter into flour and sugar. Add egg and a little cold water to form a dough; chill 25 minutes, roll to 3 mm and line a 23 cm pie tin.

  2. 02

    Blind-bake the lined case at 180°C fan for 15 minutes with baking paper and baking beans, then remove them and bake for 5 minutes more.

  3. 03

    Whisk eggs, caster sugar, coconut milk and milk until smooth. Stir in desiccated coconut, lime zest and vanilla.

  4. 04

    Pour mixture into blind-baked pastry case and bake until set at edges.

  5. 05

    Reduce the oven to 160°C fan. Pour the filling into the prepared, partly baked pastry shell, taking care not to overfill.

  6. 06

    Bake for 37 minutes until the edges are set and the centre has only a slight wobble; let cool completely so slices hold their shape.
