This revamped lemon tart has a few major upgrades. 1) The buttery graham cracker crust is loaded with toasted shredded coconut. 2) Coconut milk makes the lemon curd filling extra creamy and flavorful. 3) Thanks to Meyer lemons, it is just the right balance between tart and sweet. (But if you prefer citrus desserts with a little more pucker, swap in regular lemons.)
The tart is fantastic on its own, but we always love a whipped cream topping. You could also use the leftover egg whites you'll have to make a meringue just like you would for a Lemon Meringue Pie.

Ingredients
For crust
Cooking spray
- 3/4 cup
crushed graham cracker (from about 7 sleeves)
- 1/2 cup
toasted shredded sweetened coconut
- 1/4 cup
granulated sugar
- 6 Tbsp.
butter, melted
For filling
- 1/2 cup
granulated sugar
- 3 Tbsp.
cornstarch
Zest of 1 lemon
- 6
large egg yolks
- 1
(13.5-oz.) can coconut milk
- 1/2 cup
freshly squeezed lemon juice, preferably Meyer lemons
- 1 tsp.
pure vanilla extract
For topping
- 1/2 cup
heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp.
powdered sugar
Toasted shredded coconut
Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9” tart pan with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, toasted coconut, and sugar. Add melted butter and stir to combine. Pour mixture into prepared pan and pat into an even layer, including all the way up the sides. Use a spoon or small measuring cup to make sure crust is packed in.
- Step 2Place tart pan on a large baking sheet and bake until golden, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Step 3Meanwhile, make filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Add egg yolks and whisk until pale yellow.
- Step 4In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring coconut milk to a simmer. Slowly whisk in about ½ cup of simmering coconut milk into egg mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low and slowly whisk egg mixture into saucepan, then whisk in lemon juice. Continue whisking and simmer until mixture has thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Curd should be able to coat a back of spoon and when a finger is swiped through the center, it shouldn’t run back together.
- Step 5Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let curd cool for 10 minutes, whisking occasionally.
- Step 6Pour curd into tart shell and smooth top. Place plastic wrap directly against surface of tart and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 hours.
- Step 7In a medium bowl using a hand mixer, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Step 8Spread whipped cream over tart and top with toasted coconut.
