LEMON & TOASTED COCONUT TART image

I served this delicious tart treat at our bi-weekly Canasta party. Luckily I had copies of this delightful,refreshing desert recipe ready for my card playing buddies! The easy home toasted coconut is an added taste plus. I am sure it will be a hit at your home also. This recipe was given to me awhile back from a new friend I met...

This tart was a bit too sweet for me, but I think it would be perfect for someone with a sweet tooth.

This tart was easy to make and turned out perfectly. I used a store-bought crust to save time, and the tart still tasted delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but this tart changed my mind. The lemon curd was so smooth and flavorful, and the coconut added a nice crunch and sweetness.

This lemon toasted coconut tart was a delightful treat! The combination of the tangy lemon curd and the sweet, toasted coconut was perfect. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the tart was just the right size for a small gathering.
