A recipe was born when my friend Toni wanted coconut sweet tart pies. Using my Mom’s basic bouillie recipe, the recipe was modified to a sweet tart filling with the addition of three coconuts – canned cream of coconut, flaked coconut and coconut extract. Along with sweet dough tarts, mini pies were made using muffin tins.
Puree the flaked coconut and cream of coconut in a blender.
Over medium heat bring milk, vanilla and coconut flavor just to a boil. While the milk is heating combine the flour and water making sure there are no lumps in the mixture.
After the milk comes to a boil, add the flour and water mixture and the one-half cup sugar. Stir constantly just until the desired consistency is reached or until mixture starts to turns (about 1 to 1-1/2 minutes) to a pudding consistency, immediately add the pureed coconut mixture and combine thoroughly. Set aside to cool to fill the tarts; elegant enough to serve for dessert.
