Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Put a 9-inch removable-bottom fluted tart pan on a baking sheet.
- Make the crust by combining the ginger cookie crumbs and melted butter in a large bowl, until well blended. Add the crumbs to the tart pan and evenly press over the bottom and up the sides with the bottom of a measuring cup. Bake until set and a bit darker in color, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- In a bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, condensed milk, egg yolks and salt until well blended. Pour the filling into the cooled crust, return to the oven, and bake until set and beginning to brown on the top, about 30 minutes. Remove tart from the oven, cool to room temperature and then chill in the refrigerator, at least 1 hour or until ready to serve.
- To serve, carefully remove outer tart shell ring and slice. Eat and enjoy!
- NOTE: Any crushed gingersnap cookie will do; just be sure to use 2 1/2 cups crumbs for the crust.
GINGER, COCONUT AND PAPAYA TART
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Unfold crust and press out fold lines. Sprinkle with flour. Roll out to 12 1/2-inch round. Arrange floured side down in 11-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Pierce bottom and sides with fork. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Check crust during baking; if sides of crust slide down, press up with back of fork. Cool completely.
- Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Mix in cream of coconut and sugar, then 3/4 cup coconut and ginger. Spread filling in crust. Arrange papaya attractively atop filling. Melt preserves in heavy small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently. Brush over papaya. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup toasted coconut around edge of tart and in center. Refrigerate until filling is firm, at least 1 hour. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Keep refrigerated.)

Steps:
- Pour the coconut milk into a saucepan and warm over a medium-high heat for about 20 mins, stirring frequently so it doesn't catch, until reduced by about a quarter (you need around 600ml remaining). Stir in the caster sugar to dissolve, then pour in the double cream. Meanwhile, soak the gelatine in a bowl of cold water for 10 mins. Squeeze out any excess liquid, then add to the coconut milk mixture, stirring until the gelatine has dissolved completely.
- Divide the mixture between six-eight ramekins (about 140ml each) and set aside until the mixture has cooled. Chill for at least 3 hrs until set, or overnight.
- Put the ginger nuts in a sandwich bag and use the end of a rolling pin to crush them to a rough powder. Divide the mixture between six to eight small plates, spreading thinly.
- Prepare a bowl of warm water and dip the ramekins in to loosen the edges. Carefully turn them upside down in the middle of each plate and tap gently until freed.
- Add a couple of mango slices beside each panna cotta, and sprinkle over the lime zest. Serve straightaway.

GINGER MANGO CREAM TART
Festive enough for a holiday party or a summer cookout, this bright and creamy mango tart has a crisp gingersnap crust and is topped with candied ginger, pistachios and toasted coconut. The no-bake crust, which is made from store bought gingersnaps, butter and light brown sugar, comes together in the food processor with the press of a button. For the filling, fresh or frozen mango is cooked with ginger and turmeric to deepen its flavor and brighten the color of the finished dessert.

Steps:
- Prepare the crust: Add the gingersnaps to a food processor, roughly breaking them as you go, then pulse them into fine crumbs. (You should have about 2 1/4 cups). Add the melted butter, light brown sugar and salt to combine. Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch springform pan, then press it evenly into the base and halfway up the sides of the pan. Freeze while you make the filling.
- Prepare the filling: In a medium saucepan, heat the mango, sugar, ginger, turmeric and salt over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mango is very soft and starts to break down, 8 to 12 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes.
- Place 3 tablespoons cool water in a small microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let bloom for 5 minutes. Microwave until fluid, 15 to 30 seconds. (Alternatively, the bowl of gelatin can be placed over a small pot of simmering water until melted.)
- Wipe out the bowl of the food processor, add the mango mixture and pulse until mostly smooth. Add the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar and pulse until combined and smooth. Scrape the bowl well, then pulse again to combine. Add the cream and process for 1 minute. Finally, add the melted gelatin and pulse briefly to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to the chilled crust and gently spread into an even layer. Wrap the pan in plastic wrap, transfer to the refrigerator, and chill for 12 hours (or up to 24 hours).
- Gently run a small offset spatula or thin knife around the outer edge of the cake to loosen the crust, then release the outer ring. Run a large thin knife between the springform base and the bottom of the cake and use a large spatula to gently transfer the cake to a serving platter. (Alternatively, you can keep the cake on the base and transfer them together to a serving platter.)
- If using any of the garnishes, sprinkle them around the outside edge just before slicing and serving.
PAPAYA TART
Steps:
- Allow 1 piece of puff pastry dough to defrost at room temperature (about 30 minutes).
- Place a rack in the middle of oven, and heat to 400 degrees.
- Open out the sheet of puff pastry. On a lightly floured surface, roll it out until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out a 9-inch circle. Place on a parchment-covered baking sheet (or a baking sheet covered with greased aluminum foil). Leaving a 1/4-inch rim, prick the center of the dough all over with the tines of a fork. With a pastry brush, lightly coat the center of the dough with the milk. Push 1 tablespoon of the sugar through a coarse sieve to distribute evenly over the center of the dough. Bake for 5 minutes.
- Gently toss the papaya with the lime juice. Remove the tart shell from the oven, and lay the papaya slices in a spoke pattern on the shell. Push the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar through a coarse sieve evenly over the top of the fruit.
- Return to the oven for 15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the sugar is caramelized. Remove from the oven, and slide off the baking pan onto a rack. Cool slightly and serve, or cool completely and reheat slightly just before serving. Cut into wedges with large kitchen scissors.

MALAYSIAN BAKED PAPAYA WITH GINGER
A different version of baked papaya than the previous one I posted. This version has a crunchy filling/topping with pistachios, raisins, and ginger. If you don't care for raisins too much (like me), feel free to reduce the amount or leave them out entirely. If you need to leave out the pistachios, just sub in extra cookie crumbs to make up for some texture and volume. For another variation, use Greek yogurt in place of the heavy cream, and almonds in place of the pistachios. Adapted from Thai & Asian cookbook, untried by me. Posted for ZWT

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Cut the papayas in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the halves (cut side up) in a large glass baking dish and set them aside while you prepare the filling/topping.
- Cut the stem ginger into thin matchsticks. Combine the ginger with the crushed amaretti and raisins in a medium mixing bowl. Stir in the lime juice, lime zest, and two-thirds of the nuts. Add the sugar and 4 tbs of cream. Mix well.
- Divide the filling evenly amongst the papaya halves. Drizzle with the reserved ginger syrup and sprinkle with the reserved chopped nuts. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until papaya is tender. Serve slightly warm with the extra cream.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
- If you can't find fresh coconut, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut.
- Be sure to toast the coconut before using it in the tart. This will bring out its flavor and make it more fragrant.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the ginger and coconut by hand.
- Be careful not to over-bake the tart. The crust should be golden brown and the filling should be just set.
- Serve the tart warm or at room temperature.
Conclusion:
This ginger coconut and papaya tart is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of ginger, coconut, and papaya is unique and flavorful, and the tart crust is the perfect complement to the creamy filling. This tart is sure to be a hit with your friends and family!
