Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add a tablespoon of cold water if necessary to bring the dough together. Form the dough into a ball.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut circles large enough to line your tart pans or muffin tins. Press the dough into each tart pan, ensuring an even layer on the bottom and sides.
- Use a fork to prick the bottom of the tart shells to prevent them from puffing up during baking.
- Place the tart pans in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until well combined.
- Add the dried coconut meat, coconut milk, and lime juice to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Remove the tart shells from the refrigerator.
- Pour the coconut and lime filling into each tart shell, evenly distributing the mixture among them.
- Place the filled tart pans on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the filling is set and the tart shells are golden brown.
- Allow the tarts to cool for a few minutes in the pans before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the lime & coconut tarts at room temperature or chilled. You can garnish with a sprinkle of dried coconut meat or a zest of lime for extra flavor and presentation, if desired.
Tips:
- Make sure your eggs and butter are at room temperature before you start; this helps them mix more evenly.
- For added texture, lightly toast the dried coconut meat before incorporating it into the recipe.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor impact.
- Chill the coconut milk thoroughly before using it to achieve a creamier consistency.
- Be careful not to overfill the tart shells to prevent overflow during baking.
These Lime & Coconut Tarts are the perfect blend of tart and sweet, with a creamy filling that will transport your taste buds to a tropical paradise.
