Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- Optional: Whipped cream or fresh berries for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, granulated sugar, and egg whites. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined and sticky.
Grease a 6-cup muffin tin or tart pan. Divide the coconut mixture evenly among the cups, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides to form crusts.
Bake the coconut crusts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan.
While the crusts cool, make the chocolate filling. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat immediately.
Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the hot cream. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt, then whisk until smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Let the mixture cool slightly until it thickens but is still pourable.
Once the coconut crusts are completely cooled, carefully remove them from the pan.
Fill each crust with the chocolate ganache, dividing it evenly among the tarts.
Chill the tarts in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate filling is set.
Garnish with whipped cream or fresh berries if desired before serving. Enjoy your Coconut Chocolate Tarts!
