Coconut tarts: the next generation
My grandmother always made a coconut tart for family occasions. She was officially the World's Worst Ever Cook, and coconut tart and apple pie were the only things she could make well.
We haven't had a coconut tart at family occasions since she died, but in honour of Rebecca's visit, I decided to revive the tradition.
Only being a much better cook than Grandma, I used a more traditional Cape Malay recipe for individual tartlets, with a filling of coconut, sugar, cinnamon and cardamon.
Ulita wouldn't touch the tarts in case they gave her flashbacks, but the rest of the family seemed to appreciate them
