Where to find ingredients
Pastry dough discs can be found in the refrigerated section of supermarkets; condensed milk and shredded coconut are available in the baking aisle. For the pastry dough, a thin puff pastry can serve as an ideal substitute.
Preparation method
- Place each pastry dough disc into the bottom and sides of a tartlet mold; no greasing is required.
- Press the dough firmly to remove any trapped air and ensure they are well-shaped.
- In a bowl, mix the egg yolk, condensed milk, and shredded coconut until you achieve a homogeneous cream.
- Fill the pastry shells with the coconut cream mixture up to the brim.
- Place in a preheated oven at a medium-to-low temperature and bake until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, allow them to cool slightly, unmold, and serve either warm or cold.
