to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a medium bowl and add
Sweetened Coconut Flakes (1/2 cup)
, and
Butter (1/3 cup)
. Toss to combine completely.

In a large bowl, combine the
Sweetened Condensed Milk (1 1/3 cups)
and juice from

. Stir until thick and well incorporated. Set aside.

. Let stand two minutes to bloom. Microwave in 10-second bursts until gelatin is dissolved. Cool the gelatin to near room temperature, but do not let it set.

Heavy Cream (2 cups)
to the bowl of a stand mixer. Whip the cream for one minute at medium speed.

to the cream. Turn off the mixer and check to see that the gelatin has cooled, but not set.

Step 12
Sprinkle with
Toasted Coconut Flakes (1/2 cup)
and
Lime (1)
. Refrigerate for at least two hours for a cloud-like dessert. For a frozen tart -- freeze at least two hours. To serve, remove the tart from the freezer and let it sit out on the counter for 10-15 minutes to soften a little before slicing it.
