- ¼ tsp vanilla extract

Tip
Design the toppingTo design your geometric topping, get a sharp knife so you can execute those straight edges, and lay out the fruit slices on a board – or you could print out your design – before transferring them to top the tart.
Method
Using an electric whisk, beat the mascarpone, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, coconut extract, if using, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Whisk in the coconut cream.
Spoon the filling into the pastry case, smooth the top and return to the fridge for at least 2 hrs or overnight. Once set, use the tropical fruit to decorate the top of the tart in your desired geometric pattern.
