SANDRA'S TRI-CITRUS COCONUT CREAM CHEESE TART


The most delicious and decadent dessert, as is...
or with or without any type of topping...


Yield: (One 11" Tart) - Serves: 8-10
Prep: 20 Mins.
Bake: 20 Mins.
--Cool:  2 Hrs. at room temperature
--Refrigerate: Overnight

INGREDIENTS:

Nilla Wafer Crust:
2 cups finely crushed nilla wafers (about 50 wafers)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
Pinch of salt

Filling:
1 (14-oz.) can unsweetened coconut milk, chilled overnight
----(you'll use only the solid coconut cream on top of can,
-----NOT liquid coconut milk underneath it, which I save for using in my cereal vs regular milk)
1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
8 oz. whipped cream cheese
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup orange juice

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 350F.

Crust - In the bowl of a food processor, add the wafers and pulse until fine crumbs are formed. Drizzle in the melted butter, while pulsing, into the feeding tube; do the same with the confectioners' sugar and salt.  Pour into a dark round nonstick 11x1" tart pan with a removable bottom. Press into a even layer in the bottom and up the sides. Set aside.

Filling - Add all filling ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the bulb-whisk. Whip until all ingredients are incorporated and a creamy filling forms, about 2 minutes. Pour into prepared crust.

Bake tart, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Remove tart from oven and place on a baking rack to cool for 2 hours at room temperature.



Remove outer ring of pan, leave center portion under tart, then place atop a large, flat serving plate.  


Place cooled tart into the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, and let chill to allow flavors to meld overnight. ~ Enjoy!
