Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, powdered sugar, and salt. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the egg yolk and cold water. Mix until it forms a smooth dough. If the dough is too crumbly, add a little more water until it holds together.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick and fit it into tartlet pans. Prick the bottom with a fork and chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- In another bowl, mix the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the coconut mixture into the prepared tart shells, filling them about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tarts are golden brown and the filling is set.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. These tarts can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
These coconut tarts are not only visually appealing but bring a wonderful taste of tropical flavor to your dessert table. Enjoy each heavenly bite!
