Ingredients

Tart pastry

1 1/4 c flour

2 Tbs sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 c butter

1/4 c organic shortening

about 4 tbs ice water

Bowl of ice water

Filling

1 lb cream cheese at room temp

1/2 c cream of coconut ( Coco Lopez)

1/3 c sugar

1 c toasted coconut

1/4 c finely chopped crystallized ginger

Topping

I/2 ripe papaya

1 banana

1 ripe strawberry, hulled

3 mint leaves

Glaze

1/3 c cream of coconut

1 tbs butter

1/4 c sugar

1/4 tsp rum extract

Directions

Pastry

Mix together dry ingredients.

Blend butter and shortening well and chill a few minutes in freezer.

Put fingers in bowl ice water, shake off excess water and cut butter mixture into flour mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs, keeping fingers cold by dipping into the bowl of ice water as needed.

Add the 1/4 c ice water and toss together until dough holds together well.

Turn pastry out on a floured surface and roll to size.

Place in tart or pie pan, and, using a small ball of leftover dough, press gently into pan.

Prick with fork all over.

Sprinkle with sugar and bake at 400 until golden..about 10 minutes

Set tart pastry aside to cool completely. you may remove it completely from the pan when it is cooled or finish in the pan. I removed mine.

Filling

Beat cream cheese and cream of coconut together until fluffy.

Add sugar, beating until smooth and not grainy.

Add coconut and ginger and mix well.

Spoon into cooled crust and smooth.

May be refridgerated at this point and finished later.

Topping

Slice papaya thinly in a horizontal (across the narrow) direction to make petals.

Lay the papaya petals around the edge of the tart, overlapping slightly.

Slice the banana about 1/2 inch thick on a sligh diagonal.

Lay the banana slices around with tips overlapping the papaya row, just slightly.

There should be a small space in the middle of the tart at this point.

Take the strawberry and carefully with a sharp knife cut oval *petals* without cutting through the base..continue as long as you can, 4 around the outside and then some in the middle.

Gently peel back the petals to open up the strawberry flower.

Place in the center of the tart.

Glaze

cook first three ingredients, stirring, until sugar is no longer grainy and butter is melted.

Add extract.

Cool slightly and brush over fruit.

Garnish Tart with mint leaves before serving.
