Steps:
- Make the pastry. In a mixing bowl, add the melted buter and powdered sugar and mix until combined. Then add the milk and 6 tablespoons of the beaten egg. Combine. In 2 batches, add the flour. The mixture will start to get thick so use 2 round bladed knifes and cut through until the mixture resembles lumps as in the photo. Then use your hand and gather the pastry together until it becomes one big lump! Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge whilst you make the filling below.
- Make the filling: In a saucepan on low heat, heat the butter, milk, powdered sugar and salt. Stir until the butter has melted and the mixture starts to simmer. Switch off the heat and add the coconut. Stir well and set aside until cool or around 20 - 30 minutes.
- Once the coconut filling has cooled, add the 4 beaten eggs PLUS the remainder left from the pastry. Mix well to combine then add the cream, custard / vanilla pudding powder, vanilla extract and baking powder. Combine well then cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes so it can firm up a little.
- Preheat the oven to 375 F / 190 C. Make the tarts. Take the pastry from the fridge and knead it slightly so it is pliable. Then roll out as thin as possible. I divided my pastry in to 2 batches so it was manageable on the work top. Take a pastry cutter suitable for the size pan you are using and cut discs to fit. For this recipe, I used 2 regular cupcake pans as you see in the photo. This yielded 24 tarts. Butter the cupcake pan very well so the pastry does not stick when baking.
- Place the tart discs in to the cupcake pan and gently push down then take a fork and prick holes in the bottom of each pastry disc.
- Take the filling from the fridge and give it a stir, then fill each cup with the mixture until nearly full.
- Place in the oven for 15 minutes then switch off the oven and leave the door closed for 10 minutes. The tarts will continue to brown a little after the oven is off. Then transfer on to a cooling rack. Serve warm or cold with a nice cup of tea!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Position an oven rack in the lower third (just below centre) of the oven.
- In a mixing bowl, stir flour, icing sugar and salt together to mix well.
- Add chilled butter cubes and rub into the flour until the mixture resembles a sandy mixture or like breadcrumbs.
- Add egg yolks, and cut into the flour-butter mixture with a dough scraper until the dough starts to come together. Finish up kneading by hand until the dough is smooth and even coloured. DO NOT OVER-KNEAD or else the pastry will be tough.
- Set it in the chiller while you make the filling.
- In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, sugar, milk, coconut milk and yellow food colouring (optional). Whisk by hand until sugar dissolves.
- Add in melted butter and whisk to combine well. Tip in grated coconut and stir to combine well. (If using desiccated coconut, please read notes below.)
- BLIND-BAKE THE TART SHELLS
- Line the tart moulds with pastry dough, pressing gently into the moulds. The thickness should ideally be between 3 - 4 mm.
- Line the tart shells with a cut square of baking paper. Fill with baking beans or rice. OR instead of using weights, lightly prick the base with a fork. Bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the tart shells are a light golden brown.
- Remove the baking beans and baking paper.
- Spoon the coconut filling into each tart shell. Do not spoon too much liquid, leaving about a 2-mm border around the tart edge clear of filling. Note: If desired, strain the coconut filling before filling. Do not press any juices out from the flesh when you do this, as it should be soaked as heavily as possible. Then, fill tart shells with the flesh. Finally, spoon just enough of the liquid custard to fill up to almost the edge of the tart. Don't overdo it, otherwise the custard will bubble over the edges of the shells during baking.
- To create a slightly dome-shaped filling, pile some strained coconut flesh in the centre (please read Notes below).
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until coconut tops brown evenly. Bake for a few minutes longer if you like the crusted tops.
- Remove from oven and let the tarts cool in their moulds for 15 minutes. Gently remove from tart moulds and cool on a baking rack.

My Grandma used to send these to the soldiers in the Second World War. I've modified their sugar content as they used to be quite sweet.

CARIBBEAN COCONUT TART
Sunset magazine's kitchen developed and published this recipe (in the early 1970's) after having tasted this delicacy on the French island of Guadeloupe. They were able to duplicate the flaky pastry and rich macaroon-type filling. It's easy to make and can be finished ahead of time (needs to chill) for an impressive dessert.

Steps:
- Prepare the pastry as directed: In a bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and grated orange peel.
- With a pastry blender, cut in butter until fine particles form.
- Add 1 lightly beaten egg and stir with a fork until well blended; work with your hands until dough holds together in a ball. Divide into thirds.
- Set aside 1/3 of the pastry for lattice strips.
- On a lightly floured waxed paper, roll out the other 2/3 to a 12-inch circle. Use the paper to lift and gently turn pastry into a 10 1/2-inch tart pan with removable bottom (or 10-inch pie pan).
- Shape to bottom and sides of pan; trim excess from top edge of tart pan (or away from rim of pie pan).
- Bake in a 325*F oven for 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, divide remaining pastry into 10 pieces; on a lightly floured board roll each into a 10 to 12 inch rope. Cover and refrigerate while mixing filling.
- Filling: In a bowl lightly beat the eggs, then stir in sugar, salt and flour. Add coconut, orange juice and melted butter; mix well. Pour into prepared crust.
- Criss-cross ropes of dough on top of filling. Trim and press ends to edges of pastry. Return to a 325* oven and bake until crust is golden brown and center is set, about 40 minutes.
- Warm the jelly or jam until melted and carefully brush it over top of hot tart. Cool completely, as long as 24 hours, then remove sides of pan and cut tart in wedges.
COCONUT CREAM TARTS
Steps:
- Adjust oven racks to lowest and lower-middle positions, and heat oven to 325 degrees. Spray 48 mini-muffin cups with vegetable cooking spray.
- Mix 1/2 cup of the sugar and graham cracker crumbs in a small bowl. Working in 4 batches, lay 12 cut egg roll wrap squares on work surface. Brush wrappers with melted butter on both sides, and roll each piece in the graham cracker mixture to coat, shaking off excess. Use fingers to fit wrappers in prepared muffin tins to form a cup.
- Place 2 muffin tins each on oven racks and bake, switching tin positions after 10 minutes, until golden and crisp, 15 to 18 minutes. Immediately remove tarts from tins and place on a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining wraps. (Cooled tart shells can be stored in an airtight tin for up to 1 week.)
- Scatter coconut in an 8-inch baking pan. Bake on lower-middle rack, stirring every 5 minutes until evenly golden brown, about 15 minutes. For the filling, whisk cornstarch and remaining 2/3 cup sugar in a medium saucepan. Whisk in yolks, immediately followed by the milks. Turn heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently at first, then constantly as mixture starts to thicken, 8 to 10 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute longer. Stir in vanilla, remaining 2 Tbs. of butter and 1/2 cup of the toasted coconut. Put plastic wrap directly over the surface to prevent a skin from forming, let cool, then refrigerate. (Filling can be refrigerated up to 2 days.)
- When ready to assemble, arrange tart shells on a serving tray. Spoon a tablespoon of filling into each shell, sprinkle with toasted coconut, and serve.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Place a shallow 23cm flan tin on a baking tray. Tip the spices, coconut and sugar into a pan with 150ml water and cook over a low heat for about 5 mins, stirring frequently to ensure the mixture doesn't catch. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use to line the flan tin. Trim off the excess pastry, fill the pastry case with baking parchment and baking beans and cook for 15 mins. Remove the beans and cook for 5 mins more so the pastry on the base of the tin is just cooked, but not brown.
- Beat the egg and melted butter into the cooled coconut mixture, then spoon into the pastry case and smooth the top. Bake for 25 mins until the pastry is golden and the coconut pale golden. Serve with cream or real vanilla ice cream and some Cape gooseberries, then follow with cups of black Rooibos tea.
