Portuguese Coconut Custard Tarts
Instructions
-
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with 11 paper cupcake liners and, if desired, coat the liners with the Nonstick vegetable spray oil.
☞ TESTER TIP: To avoid the tarts sticking to paper liners, you can do what reader Olga DeMedeiros does and rely on foil cupcake liners sprayed with nonstick vegetable spray to ensure your tarts slip out easy peasy.
-
In a small bowl, dissolve the 2 tablespoons cornstarch in 1/4 cup of milk.
-
In a food processor, blitz the 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut for 30 seconds.
-
In a large bowl, stir the 3 large eggs and 1 cup granulated sugar together with a wooden spoon. One by one, add the cornstarch mixture, the remaining 3/4 cup of milk, the coconut, 2 tablespoons (1 oz) melted unsalted butter, 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract, and pinch of salt, stirring well after each addition.
