**Raspberry Coconut Tarts**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
– ¼ cup granulated sugar
– Pinch of salt
– 1 egg yolk
– 1 cup raspberry jam
– 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
2. In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, sugar, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
3. Add the egg yolk and continue pulsing until the dough comes together. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out circles big enough to fit into the muffin cups.
5. Gently press each circle of dough into the prepared muffin tin, ensuring the dough covers the bottom and sides of each cup.
6. Spoon a generous teaspoon of raspberry jam into each tart shell.
7. Sprinkle the sweetened shredded coconut over the raspberry jam, covering the top evenly.
8. Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the coconut is toasted.
9. Remove from the oven and allow the tarts to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve these delightful Raspberry Coconut Tarts at room temperature and enjoy the perfect combination of flaky pastry, sweet jam, and toasted coconut.
