Ingredients

• 300 grams Sweetened shredded coconut
• 3 large Egg whites
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 240 milliliters Heavy cream
• 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), chopped
• 15 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 pinch Sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, egg whites, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.

Step 3

Press the coconut mixture into the prepared tart pan, evenly covering the bottom and sides to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (do not let it boil).

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk gently until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Step 7

Stir in the unsalted butter until it is completely incorporated into the chocolate mixture.

Step 8

Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled coconut crust and smooth the surface with a spatula.

Step 9

Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate filling is set.

Step 10

Before serving, garnish with a pinch of sea salt if desired. Remove the tart from the pan, slice, and serve chilled.
