The Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
 - 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
 - 1/4 cup (60g) unsweetened shredded coconut
 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
 - 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, softened
 - 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
 - 1 tsp salt
 - 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
 - Fresh berries and lime zest for garnish
 
Instructions
Make the Pastry Crust
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
 - Add the softened butter and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
 - Gradually pour in the ice-cold water, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together in a ball.
 - Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
 
Make the Coconut Panna Cotta Filling
- In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sugar, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract.
 - Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
 - Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
 - Stir in the softened butter until fully incorporated.
 
Assemble and Bake the Tartlets
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
 - On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pastry dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
 - Cut out circles of dough using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass.
 - Place a spoonful of the cooled coconut panna cotta mixture onto one half of each circle.
 - Fold the other half over the filling and press the edges together with a fork to seal.
 - Brush the tops with a little bit of milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
 - Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
 
Serve
- Allow the tartlets to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
 - Garnish with fresh berries and a sprinkle of lime zest, if desired.
