COCONUT TARTS

I made these on request of my FB friend, she said she ate in Penang..and she asked whether I know the recipe. I haven't make these tarts before..but I promised her I'll check out and inform her. I goggled the recipe and found this in http://www.mykitchensnippets.com/2010/07/coconut-tarts.html, run through the recipe and I happened to have all the ingredients except the fresh coconut, run to get some and bake a batch of these awesome tarts. Crispy crusts and creamy filling..that's how I described these tarts. Popular among Penangnites especially the Chinese and the factory that introduced tarts are still around..OMG their tarts are really awesome and the best part of it the filling was made in such a way that you can see the swirls of coconut filling. I don't know how they made it but I made mine simple. Perfect for afternoon tea.

Saya membuat tarts ini adalah atas permintaan teman FB saya Norliza Hj Keling. kata Norliza dia suka sangat tarts ni dan bertanya samada saya ada resipinya..tetapi saya selalu beli aje di bakeries..tapi oleh kerana Norliza sudah bertanya jadi saya search goggle dan jumpa resipi ini di http://www.mykitchensnippets.com/2010/07/coconut-tarts.html, saya buat satu adunan untuk test. memang sedap resipi Mykitchensnippets..kulitnya ranggup dan intinya lemak. Resipi ini agak kurang manis..saya lebih ditambahkan sedikit gula pada inti untuk menaikkan lagi lemak pada intinya. Sajian yang sesuai buat minum petang
