In the world of desserts, few creations are as visually delightful and technically satisfying as tarts. With their crisp golden shells and luscious, flavour-rich centres, tart desserts embody both artistry and indulgence. They strike a rare harmony, exacting technique, and a generous dose of joy.
At The Coco Company, tarts have earned their place not just as an offering but as a signature. Whether it’s the zesty punch of a lemon tart, the indulgent layering of a banoffee, the seasonal brightness of mango, or the rich complexity of our nut tart, each one is our ode to bold flavour, finesse, and the timeless joy of pastry done right.
Available individually or as an Assorted Tart Gift Box, these beauties are the perfect companion to celebrations, tea tables, and late-night cravings alike.
But what makes a tart unforgettable? Let’s peel back the layers.
What Makes a Tart Delicious
The anatomy of a great tart is straightforward, yet its execution demands skill. Three essential components define a well-made tart:
1. Buttery, Crisp Tart Shell
The tart shell is its frame, a base that provides structure without stealing the show. We believe in a pâte sucrée shell that is golden, firm to the touch, and just sweet enough. It should have a clean snap when you cut through it, no crumbling, no sogginess, just crisp, buttery integrity.
2. Flavour-Forward Filling
Each filling should offer contrast and complement to the shell. Silky lemon curds, gooey banoffee layers, fresh mango compote, or toasted nut caramel, the filling is the soul of the tart. Ours are designed to deliver complexity without heaviness, so that every bite feels full but never overwhelming.
3. Clean, Elegant Finish
A tart is only complete when it’s finished with intention. A glaze, a fruit topping, a scattering of nuts, this is the signature, the final touch that brings flavour, texture, and visual appeal into one elegant finale.
How Our Gourmet Tarts Are Made: From Dough to Dessert
Making a tart is equal parts precision and intuition. Here’s a look at how our signature tart desserts are built from the ground up.
The Dough
Our tart shells begin with a pâte sucrée, a sweet French pastry dough made with cold butter, flour, and a touch of sugar. After careful mixing, the dough is chilled and rested to relax the gluten and develop that signature melt-in-the-mouth feel.
The Shell
Once rested, the dough is rolled out evenly and pressed into tart moulds with gentle hands, no stretching, no forcing. The base is docked to allow for even baking, and then blind-baked with pie weights until perfectly golden. The result? Tart shells with clean edges and a texture that holds up under luscious fillings.
The Fillings
Here’s where flavour steps in.
-
Our Classic Lemon Tart features a silky, tangy curd made from fresh lemons and just a whisper of sweetness.
-
The Banoffee Tart layers dulce de leche, banana slices, and soft whipped cream for a nostalgic, indulgent bite.
-
The Mango Tart, available in season, blends mango compote with fresh slices for a sunny, tropical escape.
-
For a deeper, textural contrast, the Nut Tart combines roasted almonds, hazelnuts, and pecans in a rich caramel glaze.
Each filling is paired with its shell with purpose — balanced, flavour-rich, and finished with restraint.
The Classics Treats That Never Fade
Some desserts transcend trends, and these two are always at the heart of our menu.
The Classic Lemon Tart is refreshingly bright, with a citrus zing that awakens the palate. We keep it simple to let the natural lemon flavour shine, balancing tartness with a gentle touch of sweetness. Its silky texture and vibrant hue make it a perennial favourite, fresh, refined, and endlessly enjoyable.
The Banoffee Tart brings a whole other mood, rich, nostalgic, and comforting. We layer smooth dulce de leche with slices of fresh banana and finish it with airy whipped cream, all held together by our buttery tart shell. It’s the kind of dessert that feels familiar in the best possible way, indulgent yet balanced, classic yet always craved.
Seasonal Fruits, Always in the Spotlight
Our Mango Tart is the star of summer, made with bright mango curd and topped with fresh slices when in season. But we don’t stop there. Throughout the year, we rotate our fruit tarts based on what’s fresh and local.
In spring, expect juicy berries. Come monsoon, it might be plums or figs. This allows our tart desserts to stay rooted in freshness, a celebration of the moment in pastry form.
They’re satisfying without being heavy, playful without being overly sweet, and they shine best when made with fresh, thoughtful ingredients
The Nut Tart: A Bold, Textural Favourite
The Nut Tart is a standout for those who enjoy depth and richness. Roasted almonds, hazelnuts, and pecans are layered in caramel glaze over a crisp shell, creating a chewy, toasty dessert that delivers satisfying texture and a hint of savoury warmth. It’s the kind of tart that lingers, perfect for those who want a bit more edge in their dessert.
Variations We Love: Beyond the Signature Four
Tarts are a canvas for creativity. Beyond our classics, we’re always dreaming up new variations that offer something different, whether it’s a flavour twist, a format shift, or an occasion-based creation. Some of our favourites include:
-
Chocolate Ganache Tart is made with a crisp tart shell filled with smooth, rich chocolate ganache. It’s often topped with sea salt to balance the sweetness and add a hint of flavour. This tart is known for its creamy texture and deep chocolate taste — perfect for chocolate lovers.
-
Frangipane Tart is a baked tart filled with almond cream (called frangipane) and topped with fresh seasonal fruits. The almond filling becomes soft and slightly nutty as it bakes, pairing perfectly with the sweet, juicy fruit. It’s a warm, classic tart with a rich yet light flavour..
-
Mini Tartlets: For more elegant moments, petite versions of our signatures are ideal. Whether you're hosting high tea or gifting something special, these bite-sized versions pack the same big flavour in a mini form.
-
Savoury Tarts: For those who prefer savoury to sweet, our savoury options open up a whole new world of tart appreciation. From goat cheese and caramelised onion to roasted vegetables with herbed ricotta, these tarts explore the savoury side of pastry with depth and flair.
