SIDRA: I am sorry to hear that your tarts didn’t come together as well. After reading your email, I tried going through the variables to ID what I thought could have went wrong. I’m still not sure. Maybe you’re right and you needed more binder (egg whites) – especially since the coconut pieces were sticking more to your fingers than they were to each other (try dabbing your fingers in water as you try molding them into the tins).
.
Please let me know how they turn out when you try the recipe again with an additional egg white.

I just made these tarts an hour ago, as a midnight snack. Costs: 1.29 for 7 oz coconut, 2.29 chocolate, 1.10 for 2/3 cup cream (3.19 whole pint), 0.20 egg. So total cost was $4.88. I used a 4 oz Ghiradelli bar (instead of 5 oz) with about 2 tbsp of caramel sauce. Even then, I had a whole cup of sauce left over. My tarts looked really sloppy because they didn’t stick neatly to the edges. Perhaps it needs another egg white?

I made some mods in the procedure. Instead of cooling on a wire rack, I just took them out after 6 mins and cooled them in the pan. I poured the filling directly into the tarts and froze. Consistency was perfect and my brothers loved the flavor. Presentation was sort of ugly, with the uneven edges of coconut flaking off. Next time I would make double the tart recipe so I can fill the whole 24 ct pan, and so i don’t have filling leftover. I would also use an extra egg white or some other binder so it’s easier to shape the tarts. Making the tarts was a big pan, i tried fingers, the end of a spoon, but the coconut stuck more to me than to the sides. If I could find a way of making the tarts more easily, I would definitely give these a 5 star.

I had one of these in my favourite cafe recently and I’ve been dreaming of making them ever since but they just seemed so perfectly perfect that I didn’t believe it was possible to make them at home. You have given me hope!

Instead of coarse salt for garnish, I’d add coarsely chopped almonds – somethimes you feel like a nut…
