We could call it, the challenge coconut tart! It was launched by Amelia and Deborah about one of their legendary dessert, Tarte coco du restaurant The King of Coffee the rue Lecourbe. There is a debate about its texture which is between pie and cake and especially the presence or absence of a pastry underneath. The pie is not home, it was impossible to submit the matter to the cook. So I was enjoying the cake in question, and I took up the challenge of creating a recipe that would approach it. One clue to help me in my quest: the list of ingredients collected by Amelie after a long investigation (diversion of a server, recovery of the packaging of the dessert in the trash...). Here is the recipe I created at the end of this epic challenge. The pie was the opinion of all very good but the texture is different from that of the King of Coffee, investigation to continue so!
