This is a delicious dessert for a meatless Passover (or any time. As my headline says, the tart shell tastes like a coconut macaroon, and the filling like a Creamsicle (vanilla ice cream and orange sherbet custard. It also looks lovely and sophisticated, making a very attractive presentation baked in a fluted pan, so that the tart shell takes on that shape. I've made it for our seders for several years, and have found the cooking times listed in the recipe to be accurate for the temperatures given. As one of my guests commented, "If all Passover desserts tasted like this, I'd willingly renounce flour all year long!" NOTE: The reviewers who have rated this recipe low do so not because of the way that the tart tastes and looks but because it includes confectioners' sugar, which, in typical formulations, contains corn starch. For some Ashkenazi (not Sephardic Jews, corn derivatives aren't kosher for Passover. But you can get confectioners' sugar that's made with potato starch instead of corn starch and that IS kosher for Passover.

I made this recipe today January 1st. 2009
This tart is wonderful and I will serve again soon. I made some changes.
I increase the baking to 1 1/2 Hours. I cook at 325 for 20 minutes and since was not done at all, I increase the temperature to 350 and I bake for 25 minutes more and was not ready yet, so I tent aluminun foil in top to protect the coconut and bake it for 45 minutes more. Excellent.
I also increase to 6 yolks and since I used the regular coconut bag from the super market i did not need to put the powder sugar because this regular coconut bags are sweet enough. Remember ONE AND HALF HOURS of baking.

this recipe isn't KLP - confectioner's sugar has corn starch in it, and corn isn't KLP...

This dessert is absolutely delicious! I have never eaten a Passover dessert quite like it. The coconut crust and the creamy orangy custard filling went really well together.
And they sell confectioner's sugar that IS kosher for passover.
I definately recommend this one.
