Instructions
For the shortcrust pastry

- Grease a round baking pan with butter and preheat the oven to 180 ° C.

For the filling
- Put the coconut, butter and Zùsto in a mixing bowl and mix.

- Tip: if the dough bakes too hard (edges become too brown), cover with aluminum foil.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool down for the most part.
- Chop the chocolate and bring the cream to the boil.
- Pour the cream over the pieces of chocolate and let it rest for 1 minute.
- Then stir until all the chocolate has melted.
