Roll out the pastry to line a 20cm fluted tart tin. Line with greaseproof paper and fill with baking beans or dried pulses. Bake at 190°C (375°F, gas mark 5) for 10 mins. Remove the paper and beans, then bake for a further 5 mins until the pastry is golden.
Beat the remaining ingredients together and pour into the pastry case. Bake at 170°C (325°F, gas mark 3) for 20-25 mins until lightly set.
Top tip for making Coconut and lime tart
If you're watching the cals, substitute the double cream and the coconut cream for reduced-fat versions from the supermarket.
