COCONUT-PECAN TART
Elegan and gluten free, this tart starts with a no-bake, press-in crust made with coconut and almond flour-no rolling out or blind-baking required. The filling is an enchanting elixir of butter, sugar, cream, and condensed milk speckled with coarse semisweet chocolate and pecan halves (imagine the best candy bar you've never eaten). Sprinkle on salt flakes, and slice it thin; even a sliver will satisfy.

Steps:
- For the Crust: Spray a 9-by-1-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom with cooking spray (or brush with oil). In a bowl, combine coconut, flour, and kosher salt. Stir in butter and syrup until mixture has the texture of wet sand and no dry flour remains (it should be crumbly but hold together when pinched between your fingers).
- Sprinkle evenly over bottom of prepared pan, with slightly more of mixture at edges, then press evenly into bottom and up sides of pan (since crust is thin, it's important to distribute evenly before packing down). Refrigerate until ready to use or, covered, up to 1 day.
- For the Filling: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, cream, and kosher salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook until thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. Transfer tart pan to a rimmed baking sheet. Pour cooled butterscotch into crust, smoothing to edges with an offset spatula. Sprinkle chocolate and pecans into crust. In a bowl, whisk together condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla. Pour over chocolate-pecan mixture.
- Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly in places, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 20 minutes. Carefully remove sides from pan and let cool completely (if crust is sticking anywhere along sides of pan, loosen by running a paring knife up and down in sticky spots before removing). To serve, sprinkle with flaky salt and cut into fingers.

Steps:
- Instructions for making the Rich Pie Pastry. Firstl, put the dry ingredients together - flour, salt and baking powder in a big bowl. Mix the dry ingredients well with a whisk. Next, beat the egg in a measuring cup. Add vinegar and fill the measuring cup to the 3/4 cup mark with water. Add to the flour mixture and mix well. Finally, add in the shortening and mix with your hands until the dough comes together. The dough has to be chilled in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.This dough can also be frozen for later use.This dough recipe can be used to make pie, egg custard, chicken pot pie, etc. Roll out the pastry dough on a floured surface to 1/8 inches in thickness. Cut out the pastry using a 3 inches diameter cutting ring. Excess dough can be gathered together and roll out again. Line the muffin tins with the cut out pastry dough. The pastry dough should be evenly and gently pressed against the wall of the muffin tins.
- Instructions for making the Raisin Butter Tart. In a mixing bowl, mix together all the ingredients, i.e raisins, eggs, vanilla, brown sugar and melted butter.
- Fill the pastry dough with the raisin butter tart fillings to about 3/4 to the top of the muffin tins. Do not overfill as it will puff up during the baking process.Bake the raisin butter tarts in a preheated oven at 350F for 20-25 minutes. The tart is ready when the edges of the tart starts to brown.
- Drizzle a teaspoon of maple syrup (or pancake syrup) on each tart while it's still warm to add richness to it.Leave the tart in the muffin tins for 5 minutes and remove to cool on a rack.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Organic coconut milk, pure maple syrup, and fresh pecans will make a big difference.
- Don't overfill the tart shells. They should be filled about two-thirds full, or the filling may bubble over during baking.
- Bake the tarts until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center of a tart should come out clean.
- Let the tarts cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld.
- Store the tarts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
