Instructions
1
Butter two 8cm individual tart tins and set aside.
2
For the crust, rub together the 30g flour, 20g semolina, 8g sugar and melted butter until the mixture forms a sandy, cohesive dough.
3
Press the dough evenly into the base and sides of the two tart tins and chill for 15 minutes while you make the filling.
4
Warm the whole milk and coconut milk together in a small pan until just steaming, then whisk in the 35g semolina and cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened to a loose porridge.
5
Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes, then whisk in the 22g sugar, beaten egg, desiccated coconut, vanilla extract and ground cardamom until smooth.
6
Preheat the oven to 180C (350F).
7
Divide the semolina filling between the two chilled tart shells, smoothing the tops level.
8
Bake for 25-28 minutes until the crusts are golden and the filling is set with a slight wobble in the centre.
9
Transfer to a wire rack and cool for 15 minutes, then drizzle with warmed honey and scatter over the chopped pistachios just before serving.
