Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 pinch Salt
• 2 tablespoons Ice-cold water
• 150 grams Cherry preserves
• 80 grams Dark chocolate chips
• 50 grams Shredded unsweetened coconut
• 100 milliliters Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a muffin tin or tartlet pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add the ice-cold water one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough.

Step 5

Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 3mm (1/8 inch) thickness. Cut out circles slightly larger than your tartlet molds and press the dough into the molds, trimming off any excess.

Step 7

Prick the base of each tartlet shell with a fork and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and let cool completely.

Step 8

In a small saucepan, heat the cherry preserves over low heat until loosened and spreadable. Add in the vanilla extract and stir. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Divide the cherry preserves evenly among the baked tartlet shells, spreading them out to form a thin layer.

Step 10

In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips over a double boiler or in the microwave in short intervals, stirring until smooth.

Step 11

Stir in the heavy cream to the melted chocolate until fully combined and glossy. Spoon the chocolate mixture over the cherry layer in each tartlet.

Step 12

Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly on top of each tartlet and bake in the oven for an additional 5 minutes to lightly toast the coconut.

Step 13

Remove the tartlets from the oven and let them cool completely before serving.
