Yield Makes 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
2 large egg whites
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup toasted shaved coconut, for garnish
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/3 cup bittersweet chocolate (60 percent cacao), finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1/8 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, combine coconut, egg whites, and sugar until mixture holds together when squeezed.
  • Form 1 heaping tablespoon coconut mixture into a ball. Press ball into a 2-inch brioche or tartlet tin (or mini muffin cup), making a thumbprint in the center and pressing out so mixture forms a 1/4-inch-thick crust. Repeat with remaining coconut mixture. Place tins on rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake crusts until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Set crusts aside until cool enough to handle. Unmold crusts onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the ganache: Place both chocolates in a heatproof bowl; set aside. In a small saucepan, combine cream, honey, and salt; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Pour cream mixture over chocolate and let stand until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Whisk to make smooth.
  • Strain chocolate mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a medium bowl; stir in vanilla extract. Pour ganache into baked tartlet shells, spreading with a spatula to make smooth.
  • Make the topping: Pour cream into a chilled mixing bowl. Scrape vanilla seeds into cream; reserve pod for another use. Whisk until soft peaks form. Top ganache with whipped cream; top with toasted shaved coconut and serve.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 c coconut, shredded
2 egg white
cooking spray
4 Tbsp biscoff spread (or some other spread peanut butter, almond butter, nutella)
1/4 lb melting chocolate

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whip egg whites till just foamy add the coconut. Mix until the mixture holds together when you squeeze it in the palm of your hand.
  • 2. Coat twelve 2-inch brioche, tartlet tins or mini muffin tins with cooking spray. Fill with coconut mixture, making a thumb print in the center and pressing out so mixture forms a 1/4-inch-thick "crust." Repeat with remaining coconut mixture and tins. Place tins on an unlined baking sheet.
  • 3. Bake crusts until golden brown, about 15 - 20 minutes.
  • 4. Remove baking sheet from oven, and let crusts cool slightly. Turn out crusts onto a wire rack, and let cool completely. If they do not come out easily place in freezer for 15 mins they will come out then.
  • 5. Take a plastic bag and fill with spread (I used Biscoff spread)Cut a small hole in the corner of the plastic bag and pipe the filling. Tap tarts to even out the spread.
  • 6. Place melting chocolate wafers in plastic bag and microwave for 30 seconds, remove from microwave and knead bag place back in microwave for 20 more seconds. Remove bag from oven knead again. Cut a hole on the corner of the bag and pipe in the cocolate. Tap shells to even out the chocolate and place in the fridge until hardened.

Tips:

  • Use unsweetened coconut flakes to control the sweetness of the tartlets and prevent them from becoming too sweet.
  • Toast the coconut flakes in a preheated oven for a few minutes to enhance their flavor and aroma.
  • Make sure the butter is cold before adding it to the flour mixture. This will help create a flaky, tender crust.
  • Don't overwork the dough. If you overwork it, the crust will be tough and chewy.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin and make it easier to work with.
  • When baking the tartlets, keep an eye on them so that they do not overcook. The crust should be golden brown and the filling should be set.
  • Let the tartlets cool completely before serving. This will help them firm up and make them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Coconut macaroon tartlets are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a flaky crust and a sweet and chewy filling, these tartlets are sure to be a hit. They are also a great way to use up leftover egg whites. So next time you have some extra egg whites, give this recipe a try!
