Where to find ingredients
You can find pre-made pastry discs in the frozen foods section of local supermarkets. If unavailable, puff pastry or shortcrust pastry sheets cut into circles can serve as substitutes.
Preparation method
- Fit each pastry disc into the base and up the sides of a small tart or muffin tin; there is no need to grease the pans.
- Press the dough firmly into the molds to remove any air pockets and ensure they hold their shape.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolk, sweetened condensed milk, and shredded coconut until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
- Fill each pastry shell with the coconut cream mixture right up to the top edge.
- Bake in a preheated oven at a medium-low temperature until the edges turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, then unmold and serve warm or at room temperature.
