Method

For the filling, put tofu into a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until softened and creamy.

Add coconut milk, sugar and 3/4 cup of the coconut.

Blend just to combine then stir in mango.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until slightly thickened, at least 6 hours.

For the crust, preheat the oven to 400°F.

Lighly oil a 9-inch tart pan; set aside.

In the bowl of a food processor, pulse nuts, flour, sugar and salt until mixture is the consistency of bread crumbs.

Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons water and pulse until mixture begins to clump together.

Press into prepared pan, spreading evenly over bottom and up the sides of the pan.

Bake until shell is golden and crisp, 12 to 14 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool completely.

When ready to serve, pour chilled filling into crust and smooth top with a spatula.

Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup coconut and serve.
