Creamy Coconut Tartelettes

Hello everyone,

Today is the first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere and I have the pleasure to share this refreshing yet indulgent coconut tartelette recipe with you. I've been craving a coconutie dessert for quite a while now and a few weeks ago I had this vision of a sweet coconut cream pie with a touch of almond.YUMM..

I wanted those tartelettes to be low-fat,I tried using tofu for the filling and blending it with coconut flakes,maple syrup and vanilla extract.Unfortunately,I kind of screwed up on this part because at the end I was left with a very bizare and lumpy "coconut" cream.I was very disapointed XD.Not knowing what to do with this sluggy consictency,I transfered it to a mug and hid it in the back of the fridge (I tend to do this very often lately...)and pretended it did not exist. Anyway,I then used my old and trusted friend:coconut milk. To add a refreshing "touch" I would recomend topping it of with some fruit,I chose rasberrys,because they wear the only fruit left home, but mango or even passion fruit would taste delicious aswell.

Eitherway,let's get started with the recipe!
