TWD: Toasted Coconut Tartlets

 

Another yummy treat from TWD: Toasted Coconut Custard Tart, picked by Cinemon Girl.  I decided to make tiny tartlets instead of a full-sized tart- they're so cute and little!


The recipe was easy to pull together.  The only thing I left out was the rum- I added some coconut extract instead to up the coconut flavor.  The little crusts got a bit too brown for my tastes- next time I'll watch them more closely in the oven. 


I enjoyed the flavor of these tartlets right after they were made, but I think they were even better when they had a day to rest in the fridge.  This was a yummy pick!

  3. Your minis are super cute! Love the way you piped the whipped cream on top. Great idea to skip the rum and add coconut extract - I really thought I'd like this one but found the rum overpowering so next time I'll try your idea :)

  4. Your cupcake tartlettes are adorable! Love the whipped cream swirl. Next time I'll have to try to substitute coconut extract for the vanilla. Great idea!

  5. Those teensy little tartlets are gorgeous! I made mine mini, but they look like giants in comparison ;)
