1/3 cup flaked almonds

270 ml can coconut cream

Method

Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Lightly grease a 20 x 30cm slice pan and line with baking paper.

In a large bowl, combine flour, coconut and sugar. Make a well in the flour mixture. Add butter, stirring until combined. Spread mixture evenly into prepared pan, pressing firmly. Chill 10 minutes.

Bake 8-10 minutes, until golden. Cool.

To make filling: arrange mango and almonds evenly over pastry base. In a bowl, whisk together coconut cream, cream, sugar, eggs and yolk. Strain mixture into a bowl (see tip). Pour over slice.

Bake 45-50 minutes, until slice is set. Cool in pan. Cut into squares to serve and dust with icing sugar.

Strain custard before cooking to remove any unblended egg.
