Ingredients: For crust: 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened), 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, ⅛ teaspoon salt, ½ cup all-purpose flour; For custard: ⅔ cup unsweetened coconut milk, ⅓ cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon pandan paste (or 1 teaspoon pandan powder mixed with 1 teaspoon water), 2 egg yolks, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract; For candied lime: 1 lime, thinly sliced, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons water; For sesame brittle: 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon water, 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, ¼ teaspoon sea salt, ½ teaspoon unsalted butter

A buttery shortbread crust holds a silky coconut-pandan custard (the pandan adds a subtle, vegetal-floral note without being perfumy), topped with a scatter of candied lime and shattered sesame brittle. Tropical, elegant, and utterly achievable—the custard sets in 15 minutes.
