Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 cup of shredded coconut. Pulse to mix. Add the cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, 3/4 cup of sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.
- Pour the lemon mixture into the pre-baked tart shell and sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded coconut on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the coconut is lightly toasted.
- Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
