Coconut Tarts are a sweet dough pocket filled with shredded coconut mixed with sugar and strawberry jam to make a delicious sweet snack. With the abundance of coconuts in the Caribbean, it's easy to see why we use them in many of our dishes, both sweet and savory. This recipe will show you how to make Coconut Tart, just like we do in Trinidad. The sweet dough for this pastry bakes up flaky and buttery. The filling has an iconic pink color from a strawberry jam mixed with shredded coconut. This combination of the sweet buttery, flaky pocket filled with moist and sweet coconut is pure heaven in a pastry. For a Trinidad pastry classic, try these Coconut Tarts that go great with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
