Where to find ingredients
You can find pastry discs in the refrigerated section of supermarkets. If unavailable, puff pastry or shortcrust pastry sheets cut into circles work as a substitute. Shredded coconut and condensed milk are standard items in the baking aisle.
Preparation method
- Place each pastry disc into the bottom and sides of small muffin tins, no need to grease.
- Press the dough firmly to remove any air pockets and ensure they are well-molded.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolk, condensed milk, and shredded coconut until a uniform cream is formed.
- Fill the pastry cups with the coconut cream mixture up to the rim.
- Place in a preheated oven at a low to medium temperature and bake until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, unmold, and serve warm or cold.
