Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
Choose Ripe Fruit: The quality of your fruit will greatly impact the flavor of your tart. Choose ripe, flavorful papayas and mangoes for the best results.
Use Fresh Ginger and Coconut: Fresh ginger and coconut add a wonderful flavor to this tart. If you can't find fresh ginger, you can use ground ginger, but the flavor will be less intense.
Don't Overcook the Filling: The filling should be cooked until it is just set. Overcooking will make it tough and rubbery.
Chill the Tart Before Serving: Chilling the tart for at least 2 hours before serving will help the flavors to meld and the tart to set properly.
