quiverfull7 said:I made it on Monday and we loved it. Make certain to spray the indentation of the pan well with Baker's Joy. Did the crust break when you lifted the parchment paper? How crispy were the edges? I was doing a Jewelry Party and made new PC recipes for our food and this was a HUGE hit. It's also gluten free ... I THINK... I didn't check the sauce ... My daughter ate the last piece for breakfast this AM.
chef2you said:Has anyone made the Coconut Lime Tart? I did everything the recipe said to do, but part of the coconut crust still stuck in my pan and the crust broke. Any tips? Also, I think the coconut lime sauce is a strange flavor combination. Is that just me? What do you think?
For a perfect crust, make sure to use chilled butter and cold water when making the dough. This will help prevent the crust from becoming too soft and will result in a flaky texture. Also, make sure to properly press the dough into the tart pan, making sure there are no gaps or air bubbles. Finally, pre-bake the crust before adding the filling to ensure it is fully cooked and crisp.
If your crust is crumbling, it may be too dry. Try adding a small amount of water or melted butter to the dough to help bind it together. You can also try pressing the dough more firmly into the pan before baking. If all else fails, you can always crumble the crust and use it as a topping for the tart instead.
To balance the lime flavor, you can add more coconut to the sauce or use a combination of lime and coconut extracts. You can also try adding a bit of sugar or honey to offset the tartness of the lime. It may also help to let the sauce sit for a bit before using it, as the flavors may mellow out over time.
Yes, you can use sweetened shredded coconut, but keep in mind that it will add more sweetness to the tart. You may want to adjust the amount of sugar in the filling or reduce the amount of sweetened coconut used. Alternatively, you can use unsweetened coconut and add a bit of sugar to the filling for a touch of sweetness.
While a tart pan is recommended, you can also use a regular pie dish or even a springform pan. Just make sure to adjust the baking time accordingly, as a larger or deeper pan may require more time in the oven. You can also make individual tartlets using a muffin tin or mini tart pans.
