Where to find ingredients

Preparation method
- Place each disk of pastel dough into the bottom and sides of individual mini tart or muffin tins; there is no need to grease them.
- Press the dough firmly into the molds to remove any air pockets and ensure they hold their shape perfectly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolk, sweetened condensed milk, and shredded coconut until you have a smooth, homogeneous cream.
- Fill each dough-lined mold with the coconut cream mixture up to the top edge.
- Place in a preheated oven at a medium-low temperature and bake until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, unmold, and serve warm or at room temperature.
