Coconut-Raspberry Glazed Tartlets

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/3 cup raspberry preserves
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 tbsp water

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a mini tartlet pan.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add the egg yolk and shredded coconut to the mixture and stir until fully combined.
4. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of each tartlet mold.
5. Bake the tartlets for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan and transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. In a small saucepan, heat the raspberry preserves on low heat until it becomes liquidy and easy to spread. Spread the raspberry preserves on top of each tartlet, using a spoon or a pastry brush.
7. In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and water until it becomes a thin glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the top of each tartlet. Allow the glaze to set before serving.

Verdict:

These coconut-raspberry glazed tartlets are the perfect combination of sweet and tangy. The coconut crust is slightly crunchy and the raspberry preserves add a fruity touch of flavor. The powdered sugar glaze on top adds just the right amount of sweetness to make this dessert irresistible.

Serving suggestions:

Serve the tartlets as a dessert after a romantic dinner with your significant other or as a tea-time snack with your friends. For an added touch, sprinkle some extra shredded coconut on top of each tartlet before serving. Enjoy!
