Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg yolk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a tart pan or pie dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, shredded coconut, powdered sugar, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients well.
- Add the softened butter and egg yolk to the dry mixture, and mix until everything is well combined and a dough forms.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart pan. Make sure it’s nice and even for a perfect bake.
- Poke several holes in the bottom of the crust using a fork. This will help prevent the crust from puffing up during baking.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until it’s a lovely golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely before adding your favorite filling, such as a custard, chocolate ganache, or whipped cream topped with fresh fruits.
