\u2022 3\/4 cup all purpose flour<\/p>\n
\u2022 1\/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut, toasted, cooled<\/p>\n
\u2022 7 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1\/2-inch pieces<\/p>\n
\u2022 1\/3 cup powdered sugar<\/p>\n
\u2022 1 teaspoon instant coffee crystals<\/p>\n
\u2022 1\/4 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n
Filling<\/p>\n
\u2022 1\/4 cup sugar<\/p>\n
\u2022 6 1\/4 teaspoons instant coffee crystals<\/p>\n
\u2022 2 tablespoons cornstarch<\/p>\n
\u2022 1\/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons whipping cream<\/p>\n
\u2022 6 tablespoons cream of coconut<\/p>\n
\u2022 4 large egg yolks<\/p>\n
\u2022 1\/2 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/p>\n
Topping<\/p>\n
\u2022 3\/4 cup chilled whipping cream<\/p>\n
\u2022 * cup cream of coconut<\/p>\n
\u2022 2 tablespoons powdered sugar<\/p>\n
\u2022 Sweetened shredded coconut, toasted<\/p>\n
For crust<\/p>\n
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Combine all ingredients in processor. Process until moist clumps form, about 1 minute.
\nPress dough onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Freeze crust until firm, about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
Place crust on baking sheet. Pierce all over with toothpick. Bake crust until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Cool.<\/p>\n
For Filling
\nWhisk sugar, coffee crystals and cornstarch in heavy medium saucepan until no cornstarch lumps remain.<\/p>\n
Gradually whisk in cream, then cream of coconut (coffee crystals will not dissolve completely). Mix in yolks.<\/p>\n
Whisk over medium heat until mixture thickens and boils, about 8 minutes. Cool in pan, whisking occasionally.<\/p>\n
Whisk in vanilla. Spread filling in crust. Chill until cold, about 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead; cover and keep chilled.)<\/p>\n
For Topping<\/p>\n
Beat whipping cream, cream of coconut and powdered sugar in medium bowl until firm peaks form. Spoon into pastry bag fitted with medium star tip. Pipe decoratively over filling.<\/p>\n
Sprinkle with shredded coconut. Refrigerate until cold about 1 hour.<\/p>\n
