Servings 24 mini tarts
Equipment
- Mini Muffin Pan
Ingredients
For the crust
- 1 cup (112g) coconut flour
- ½ cup (200g) coconut oil solid
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
For the filling
- ~1 cup prepared coconut whipped cream, like Cocowhip OR
- 1 cup coconut cream chilled (see notes)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh mixed berries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease a 24-cavity mini muffin pan with coconut oil.
- Combine coconut flour and salt in a bowl. Add the maple syrup and room temperature coconut oil and mix until a large dough ball forms, pressing out any clumps of coconut oil. If you're mixing with a bowl and spoon (not a stand mixer), you may want to use your hands at the end to bring to dough fully together and make sure there aren't any lumps.1 cup (112g) coconut flour, ½ cup (200g) coconut oil, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ cup maple syrup
- Divide the dough between the 24 mini muffin cavities and press up the sides. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Let cool completely before using a toothpick or knife to pop the cups out of the muffin tin.
- In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or a hand mixer), beat the chilled coconut cream with the maple syrup and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, 1-2 minutes. You can also use a prepared coconut whipped cream, like Cocowhip, instead.1 cup coconut cream, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Add a scoop of whipped coconut cream to each cooled shortbread cup and top with fresh berries. Serve immediately.1 cup fresh mixed berries
Notes
- Coconut cream can be bought at most grocery stores, I love the Thai Kitchen brand. If you can't find it that way, you can purchase regular full-fat coconut milk and place it in the fridge overnight - when you open the can, scrape off the thickened top layer and measure that. You should get about 1 cup from a 14.5 oz. can.
