A summery coconut key lime tart with cinnamon graham cracker crust, creamy lime filling, whipped cream, and toasted coconut. This will be your new go-to dessert for BBQs, parties, and more!
15 Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
1
|
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease your tart pan with butter or neutral cooking spray.
2
|
In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the graham cracker sheets, in batches if necessary, until you have semi-fine crumbs. You should end up with about 1 1/2 cups of crumbs. Add the coconut flakes, sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and salt and pulse until the coconut and graham crackers are finely ground and the mixture comes together.
3
|
Pour the coconut graham mixture into the tart pan and press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of the pan. Bake for about 7-8 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool to room temperature while you prepare the filling.
Coconut Key Lime Filling
1
|
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks until creamy. Add the sweetened condensed milk, coconut cream, key lime juice, and key lime zest until smooth and fully incorporated.
2
|
Pour the coconut key lime filling into the cooled pie crust. Bake 10-14 minutes just until the filling is mostly set, but still a little jiggly in the center. Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for about 30 minutes on a wire rack at room temperature.
3
|
Press a piece of plastic wrap to the top of the filling to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate the pie until chilled, about 3-4 hours.
Whipped Cream Topping
1
|
With a stand mixer or hand mixer, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form.
2
|
Immediately before serving, spread the whipped cream over the top of the pie and garnish with toasted coconut, lime wedges, etc. Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Crust Crispness Technique 🥧Pre-bake the cinnamon graham cracker crust for 10 minutes at 350°F to prevent sogginess and create a crisp, sturdy base for the creamy lime filling.
- Lime Zest Maximization 🍋Use a microplane to zest key limes directly into the filling, ensuring you capture the most intense citrus oils for maximum flavor concentration.
- Coconut Toasting Perfection 🥥Toast coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium heat, constantly stirring, until golden brown to enhance their nutty flavor and add textural contrast to the tart.
- Smooth Filling Secret 🥄Use an immersion blender or food processor to blend the lime filling, ensuring a completely smooth and silky texture without any lumps.
- Chilling Mastery 🧊Allow the tart to chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld and the filling set to the perfect creamy consistency.
