I loved toasted coconut. Girl Scout Samoas are about the greatest thing ever. My mom makes truffles covered in toasted coconut and I could eat a million of them. So I was excited to make this recipe. I don’t have a tart pan so I made a 9″ pie.
A word of caution: don’t leave coconut unattended under the broiler. Fire in my mom’s oven. My brave brother took the on fire coconut an threw it in the snow. Take two was toasted in a pan on the stove.
This is a great, quick recipe that yields a creamy, smooth custard filling. You could omit the coconut and use bananas for a great banana cream.
You can check out Beryl’s blog for the recipe!

Samoas are my favorite cookie by far! I just about burnt my coconut. I think that happened to a lot of us this round. 🙂 Your tart looks great.
So glad I didn't set my coconut on fire.Your tart looks lovely.
Wow, drama! Flaming coconut? Heroic brothers? This is one for the record books, sounds like.
