Ingredients
1 package of small pastry dough disks
1 egg yolk
1 can of condensed milk
100 g of shredded coconut
1 egg yolk
1 can of condensed milk
100 g of shredded coconut
Where to find ingredients
Pastry disks can be found in the refrigerated dough section of major supermarkets. Shredded coconut and condensed milk are widely available in the baking aisle. As a substitute for small pastry disks, you may use homemade puff pastry cut into circles, though the original texture is specific to the Brazilian-style pastel dough.
Preparation method
- Place each pastry dough disk into the bottom and sides of individual tartlet tins, with no need to grease them.
- Press the dough firmly to remove any trapped air and ensure they are well-molded.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolk, condensed milk, and shredded coconut until you obtain a homogeneous cream.
- Fill the pastry shells with the coconut cream up to the rim.
- Place in a preheated oven at a medium to low temperature and bake until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, unmold, and serve warm or cold.
