Description
Indulge in the sweet, fragrant flavors of these Thai Pandan Coconut Tarts – a delightful tropical treat that’s quick and easy to make.
Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 egg
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup coconut milk
– 1/2 cup pandan extract or 3-4 fresh pandan leaves
– 1/2 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup mini tart pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, butter, sugar, egg, and salt until a dough forms. Press the dough into the tart pan, creating an even layer on the bottom and up the sides.
3. In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk and pandan extract (or fresh pandan leaves). Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until simmering.
4. Remove the pandan leaves (if using) and pour the hot coconut mixture into the prepared tart shells.
5. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the tarts are golden brown.
6. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Top with shredded coconut before serving.
Notes
For a stronger pandan flavor, add 1-2 teaspoons of pandan extract to the coconut filling. You can also use fresh pandan leaves and strain the filling before pouring into the tart shells.
