Rum Coconut Treacle Tart Recipes

RUM & COCONUT TREACLE TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5/fan 170C. Roll the pastry out to a 5 mm thickness (as thin as you can for a delicate crust). Use to line a 23cm shallow loosebottomed flan tin and leave the pastry hanging over the sides. Prick the base and chill or freeze for at least 30 minutes.
• In a large bowl, mix the treacle with the golden syrup, lime zest and juice, and rum. Stir in the breadcrumbs and coconut. Put the flan tin on a baking sheet. Spread the syrupy filling over the pastry base. Bake for 15 minutes, then turn the oven down to 160C/gas 3/fan 140C (to stop the mixture bubbling over) and bake for another 15 minutes, until the filling is just set and the pastry starting to brown at the edges.
• Meanwhile, whisk the rum, cream and icing sugar together until the mixture stands in soft peaks and the whisk leaves a trail. Transfer to a bowl, cover and chill until needed. Cool the tart slightly before trimming the pastry edges with a sharp knife. Serve warm with the rum cream.

TREACLE TART

Steps:

• Sieve the flour and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and rub together with your fingers to a fine breadcrumb-like texture (you can also do this part in a food processor). Stir though the icing sugar, then quickly add the egg yolks and 2 tbsp water, mixing swiftly with a cutlery knife to combine. Form into a ball (add another tbsp water if you need to), wrap and chill for 30 mins. Roll out to the thickness of a pound coin, and line a 22cm fluted tart tin with the pastry, leaving an overhang. Return to the fridge for 30 mins.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put a baking sheet into the oven to heat up. Line the pastry case with baking parchment and baking beans, then put in the oven on the baking sheet, and bake for 15 mins. Remove the parchment and bake for a further 10 mins or until the pastry is golden brown. Leave the pastry to cool before trimming off the overhanging edges with a small serrated knife.
• Lower the oven temperature to 160C/140C fan/gas 4. Combine the golden syrup, ginger, ginger syrup, lemon, eggs and breadcrumbs in a bowl, briefly whisking everything together until combined. Carefully pour the filling into the pastry case put in the lower part of the oven to bake for 35-40 mins or until the filling is just set. Remove from the oven and leave to cool down for 20 mins before serving with ice cream or thick clotted cream.
