Chocolate Coconut Custard Tarts - The velvety custard against the crisp crunch of the chocolate she
I never used to be much of a fan of coconut. I can remember that my sister used to like those Bounty bars, which were basically chocolate coated coconut. I didn’t realise until later in life that there was a good chance that she chose them because she knew that there was no way that I’d pilfer them. Hmmmm…
Anyway, flash forward to my low carb life and I now love coconut and never more so that when combined with chocolate. Now, these tarts are on the high end of low carb desserts, but…these tarts are divine.
They are lush and decadent. The velvety custard against the crisp crunch of the chocolate shell is a study in delicious textures. I digress, try them yourself and let me know what you think.
