- Bake for 2 hours at 180°C.
- To make the coconut whipped cream whisk the hard part of the coconut cream until it forms the desired texture and add vanilla extract and maple syrup.
- When the tart has cooled use the sliced fruits to decorate. You can create lines or shapes of your liking. Use a piping bag to decorate with the coconut whip.
