Toasted Coconut Custard Tart

2 Mar

IMG_3147 Your Mom would say, “Honey, have you finished all your dinner?” (Did you notice the emphasis on “all?”)   You would manage your affirmative reply as you gulp down your last sugar snap pea and carrots. Knowing full well a pretty luscious dessert awaits. The payoff!   IMG_3155
So this week, its all about custard and coconut. Beryl of Cinemon Girl was the honored selector.  You know that she actually has the recipe posted on her blog so just click through and you too can enjoy the Payoff.

Coconut has been an acquired taste I have developed over my baking experiences.  The aroma and taste of warm coconut custard is irresistible.  I can never make it through a recipe without satisfying the need by getting  out at least one tasting spoon.  I was not disappointed.  I am becoming more and more in love with coconut.

Mom’s know….wanna know how they know?  Because their Mom’s taught them.  That’s how.

I’ve made this tart before and so I shared this tart with my neighbor who graciously accepted the treat.  Isn’t it so fun to surprise people?  It makes me smile.  So, if you were so kind to stop by this morning, or if this is your first visit, you should know this tart is GGGGGGRRRREEEEAAAATTT!!!!!  I hope you’ll stop by the rest of the TWD blog roll and see all the variations our really creative group  offers.

Corbin is so sweet and is responsible for the photos.  Thank goodness he is back at it.   Whew! IMG_3162
