Scottish Coconut and Raspberry Jam Tarts (Coconut Tartlets)
Description
Scottish Coconut and Raspberry Jam Tarts start with unbaked tartlet shells placed in tins and filled with a spoonful of raspberry jam. A rich coconut filling made by beating eggs with sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and shredded unsweetened coconut is spooned over the jam, filling each shell about three-quarters full. Once baked at 375℉ (190℃) for 20 to 25 minutes, the coconut topping becomes lightly golden and set, contrasting the tartness of the raspberry jam below. The result is a delicately textured tartlet offering a balance of fruity and creamy coconut flavors within a crisp shell.
These tartlets serve well as a sweet snack or dessert alongside tea or coffee. Since the tartlet shells are unbaked at the start, ensure they remain chilled to hold their shape during baking. The recipe relies on pre-made tartlet shells, which can simplify preparation if short on time.
Ingredients
- 2 egg
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups coconut unsweetened, shredded
- raspberry jam (as needed)
- 24 tartlet shells unbaked
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉ (190℃)
- Beat the eggs. Then add the sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and coconut.
- Place the unbaked tartlet shells in their tins on a baking sheet.
- Put a little raspberry jam in the bottom of each shell. Fill about ¾ full with the coconut filling (they will rise).
- Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes until top is lightly golden brown. When cool, remove from tins.
Notes
- If making your own tartlet shells, ensure they are chilled before filling to maintain shape during baking.
- Use unsweetened shredded coconut to control sweetness and texture in the filling.
- The tartlets should cool before removing from tins to prevent breakage.
