Dutch-Indies Coconut Tart is a familiar Dutch-Indies sweet dish with homely flavours. A creamy coconut dessert with a soft custard texture, gently sweet and wonderfully nostalgic for coffee time or celebrations. It works well for an everyday meal, but also as part of a larger rice-table style spread.

Why is Dutch-Indies Coconut Tart so popular?

The strength of Dutch-Indies Coconut Tart is the combination of familiar ingredients and warm Dutch-Indies flavours. It does not need to be complicated to taste rich and satisfying. Pay attention to the balance between salty, sweet, aromatic and fresh, and add something crisp or tangy on the side when the sauce or base is fuller.
