Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus extra for greasing the pans
- 1/3 cup premium flour
- 1 cup toasted coconut flakes, plus extra for garnish
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 140 g semi-sweet or dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup dulce de leche, warmed (available in the dessert and toppings section)
- 1 liter of coconut ice cream
Preparation:
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Combine the flour, 1/4 cup coconut, brown sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined. Add the chilled butter and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand with pea-sized pieces of butter, about 5 pulses.
- Place 1 heaping tablespoon of the mixture into each cavity of the pan and press down to form even circles. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle each tartlet evenly with chocolate. Turn off the oven; return the pan to the oven to melt the chocolate, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle each tartlet with 1 tablespoon of the remaining coconut flakes. Let cool slightly, then place directly in the pan in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
- Using a thin spatula, carefully remove each tartlet from the pan. Top with a small scoop of coconut ice cream, drizzle with dulce de leche, and sprinkle with coconut flakes.
