  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 cups desiccated coconut
  • FILLING
  • 1 1/4 cups cream
  • 300 g quality dark chocolate, chopped

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
  • Place the egg whites, sugar and coconut in a bowl and mix to combine them.
  • With wetted hands or a spoon, press the coconut mixture into eight 3/4 cup (6 fl oz) capacity, deep muffin tins, covering the base and sides to make a shell.
  • Place in a preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the shells are just beginning to turn a light golden colour.
  • Cool the shells for 1 minute, then gently remove them from the tin and place on a wire rack to cool.
  • Make the filling while the bases are cooking.
  • Place the cream in a saucepan over medium heat and heat until almost boiling.
  • Remove the cream from heat.
  • Add the chopped chocolate and stir through until the chocolate has melted and the filling is smooth.
  • Pour the chocolate filling into the coconut tart shells and place in the freezer for 10 minutes or until the chocolate filling is set.
  • Serve with coffee or berries as a dessert.
