Description

Coconut & Condensed Milk Tarts No Bake are an easy, oven-free dessert combining creamy sweetness with tropical coconut flavor. Perfect for warm weather or any occasion, these tarts feature a crunchy biscuit crust and a luscious coconut filling made with sweetened condensed milk, desiccated coconut, and vanilla. Chill to set and serve with optional garnishes for a refreshing, melt-in-your-mouth treat that is simple to prepare and sure to please.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 1 ½ cups crushed biscuits or graham crackers
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter, melted

For the Filling

  • 1 can (14 oz / 395 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup desiccated coconut (fresh shredded coconut can be used as alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon or lime zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Crush the biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by hand. Melt the cold butter and mix it thoroughly with the crumbs until the texture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into your tart pans or ramekins, creating an even, sturdy base.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, desiccated coconut, and vanilla extract. Add lemon or lime zest if using. Stir until all ingredients are fully blended into a thick, creamy mixture.
  3. Assemble the Tarts: Spoon the coconut and condensed milk filling evenly over the prepared crust and smooth the surface with a spatula. Cover the tarts with plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container to prevent drying out.
  4. Chill Until Set: Refrigerate the tarts for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to firm up and flavors to meld, achieving that perfect creamy texture.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, remove from the fridge and garnish as desired with toasted coconut flakes, fresh berries, chocolate drizzle, or other toppings. Slice carefully and serve cold, savoring the tropical, creamy goodness.

Notes

  • Use fresh desiccated coconut to amplify flavor and avoid stale taste.
  • Press the crust firmly to ensure it holds together when slicing.
  • Chill the tarts long enough for the filling to set perfectly.
  • Add citrus zest sparingly to avoid overpowering sweetness.
  • Use cold butter for the crust to achieve a crumbly texture ideal for no-bake tarts.
