Lime & coconut tarts

Immerse yourself in the tropical flavors of these Lime & Coconut Tarts. Combining zesty lime with creamy coconut, this delightful dessert brings a fresh and exotic twist to your table. Perfect for summer gatherings or any occasion where you need a taste of paradise.

Ingredients:

3 eggs
150g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
1/3 cup dried coconut meat
50g
1 cup coconut milk
230g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1.25 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
160g
1 tbsp lime juice
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Tart Crust:
- 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.
3. Make 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.
4. Assemble the Tarts:
- Remove the tart shells from the refrigerator.
- Pour the coconut and lime filling into each tart shell, evenly distributing the mixture among them.
5. Bake the Tarts:
- 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.
6. Cool and Serve:
- 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. With a buttery crust and a fragrant, citrusy filling, they’re sure to be a hit at any gathering. Perfect for making ahead, these tarts are both delicious and convenient—a delightful end to any meal.
