  This is a highly recommended coconut tart. Frankly, i never fancy coconut in tarts but after baking this batch of coconut tart i have changed. I love the fragrant coconut filling. It is lightly crunch on the outside and moist coconut filling inside. The recipe mention to use desiccated coconut but i rather like the richness and taste of the freshly grated ones. I happen to have some freshly grated coconut in the freezer so why not make use of it :p i am impress how lovely the look of this tart!! :D ;D Simple and lovely! Yummy!! Coconut Tarts The coconut filling is moist and fragrant with a light crunch crust ... YUM!

It's new year eve!! After midnight it will be 1 January 2015!! It is a whole new year and hope that everything will be a whole new start and the best of everything!! I baked this dainty star-topped mince pie on Christmas day. I am baking this again yesterday for today after dinner snack to go with coffee.

These pies have not in full casings but with a little star as lid and that makes them look so beautifully. Dust it with some icing sugar. This blueberry and strawberry studded mincemeat pie taste equally g...
