Coconut Flan Tart with Kiwi Relish
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch salt
- 6 tablespoons butter, slightly softened
- 3 to 5 tablespoons ice water
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
- 3 kiwi fruits, peeled and finely diced
- For the crusts: Sift the flour and salt into the bowl of a food processor.
- Add the butter and pulse while drizzling enough of the ice water through the feed tube to allow the dough to come together.
- Divide the pastry into 6 disks, cover, and let rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Butter 6 (4 to 5-inch) flan pans with removable bottoms.
- Roll each disk of dough out 1 at a time on a lightly floured surface and place in pans.
- Line the base of each pastry shell with parchment paper and top with pastry weights.
- Blind bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the weights and parchment and prick the base of the pastry to prevent bubbling.
- Place back in the oven for another 5 minutes to allow the base of the pie shell to dry out.
- Remove from oven and let cool.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
- For the filling: While the par-baked crusts are cooling, heat the coconut milk over medium heat in a small saucepan.
- Stir in the sugar and salt until dissolved.
- Make a slurry by gradually whisking 2 tablespoons water into a separate small bowl containing the starch.
- Then gradually whisk the slurry into the pot of coconut mixture.
- Reduce heat to low to let the flavors integrate and to thicken.
- Fill the pastry shells 3/4 full with even amounts of the coconut filling.
- Place on a foil-lined baking sheet to catch drips, and bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 to 45 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
- Serve at room temperature or chilled, topped with diced kiwi.
