Don't recall where I orig got this - maybe Ina Garten? Regardless, you can make it your own - swap all lemon juice or mix citrus juices - the macadamia-coconut crust is simply sensational!
Ingredients
- Crust shopping list

How to make it
- PREHEAT OVEN TO 350.
- CRUST: Grease a 10” tart pan. Food process cookies and nuts until crushed. Add butter until moistened. Add remaining coconut and pulse 2-3 times ONLY to combine. Press into the tart pan. FREEZE for 15 min.
- FILLING: Beat cream cheese and milk together until smooth. Add yolks 1 at a time; beat each until blended well. Add juice and rum, stirring until combined well.
- POUR into crust, bake 350 for 25 min until ALMOST set. Sprinkle remaining coconut over the top. Cool completely before covering and refrigerate at least 4 hours until thoroughly chilled.
- ** If making mini tarts rather than one 10" tart, line tart pans w/paper liners since the mixture can be VERY sticky and you cannot get the tartlets out of the pan without tearing the tarts.
