Coconut Macaroon Tartlets by Sheri Silver|@sherisilver

 

These lovely tartlets take inspiration from that ubiquitous can of coconut macaroons! The macaroon mixture is turned into a tartlet shell, and filled with either salted ganache or almond filling. Easy, delicious and doubles beautifully to serve a crowd!

For the tart shells
  1. 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut (can be sweetened or unsweetened)
  2. 1/4 cup sugar
  3. 2 egg whites, room temperature
For the ganache filling
  1. 4 ounces chocolate chips
  2. 1/2 cup heavy cream
  3. flaky sea salt
For the almond filling
  1. 1 egg white, room temperature
  2. 2 ounces almond paste, crumbled
  3. 6 tablespoons confectioner’s sugar
  4. 12 whole almonds
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees; grease a 12-cup mini muffin tin.
  2. In a medium bowl combine the tart shell ingredients till well incorporated. Spoon evenly into your muffin tin and press into the bottoms and sides (slightly damp fingers help keep things from sticking).
For ganache tarts
  1. Bake the shells till golden brown around the edges, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack. When cool enough to handle remove from tin to cool completely. Place the chocolate chips in a small bowl. Heat the cream just till tiny bubbles form and pour over the chocolate chips. Let sit for five minutes and whisk till smooth. Pour into the cooled tart shells, top with a bit of flaky sea salt and refrigerate till set.
For almond tarts
  1. Beat the egg white till frothy, then add the almond paste and confectioner’s sugar and beat till smooth. Spoon evenly into the tart shells and bake till golden brown around the edges, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack. Gently insert an almond into each of the tarts. When cool enough to handle remove from tin to cool completely.
