I just made this tart today. It was really tasty, but I would recommend a couple of changes. I found that there was barely enough custard to cover the bottom of the tart shell. The custard puffs up slightly, but it's overwhelmed by all the coconut topping. I would double the custard filling and do 2 cups of coconut and 1 cup of brown sugar for the topping or even 1 3/4 cup coconut and 3/4 cup brown sugar. The three cups of coconut/brown sugar topping make the tart choyingly sweet and dominate the custard.

The crust was time consuming, but turned out flakey and delicious.

With the right balance of custard and topping, this tart would be amazing. Be sure to check the coconut when the tart is in it's final baking stage, so it doesn't burn.
