Coconut Meringue Pie Tart
Coconut Meringue Pie Tart is a delicious dessert that combines the sweetness of coconut with the lightness of meringue. This dish is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests. To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of melted butter
For the filling:
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup of coconut milk
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup of shredded coconut
For the meringue:
- 3 egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup of sugar
To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into a 9-inch tart pan and bake for 10 minutes.
In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, egg yolks, and shredded coconut. Pour the mixture into the baked crust and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
While the tart is baking, make the meringue by whisking together the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the sugar and continue to whisk until stiff peaks form.
Once the tart is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, spread the meringue over the top of the tart and use a spatula to create peaks. Bake the tart for an additional 10 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.
Coconut Meringue Pie Tart is a perfect combination of sweet and light flavors. The crust is buttery and crunchy, while the filling is creamy and coconutty. The meringue adds a light and airy texture to the dish, making it a perfect dessert for any occasion.
