Instructions
Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Pulse to combine.
Add in butter and pulse until butter is in pea-sized pieces.
Combine water and vanilla extract and drizzle over the mixture. Pulse to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs – it should not be fully combined into a ball.Turn out mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap and form into a disk about 1 inch thick. If you have trouble making it stick together add a few more drops of water. Wrap dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 10 inch round (to fit a 9 inch round tart pan), or to fit a 4 inch x 13 inch rectangular tart pan. Ease dough into the pan and press into the sides to form.Chill pan with dough in refrigerator while preheating the oven to 375 degrees F.Line the dough with foil and fill with pie weights.
Bake tart crust for 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes more.
Combine 3/4 cup (172g) of the coconut milk with 2 Tablespoons (30g) of sugar in a small saucepan.
Heat on the stove over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and bubbles appear on the edge of the pan.Meanwhile, whisk together the egg yolks and 3 Tablespoons (44g) sugar in a bowl.
Whisk the cornstarch and remaining 1/4 cup (46g) coconut milk in a small bowl and then add to the egg yolk mixture, whisking to combine.
Spread the cherry preserves evenly over the bottom of the tart shell.Spoon the pastry cream on top of the preserves and spread evenly. Fill the tart shell to just below the top; you may have some pastry cream left over.Wash and pit the cherries, and slice in half. Arrange cherry halves on top of the pastry cream.
