24 tarts
ingredients
- 473.18 ml semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 236.59 ml mini marshmallows, white
- 236.59 ml 2% evaporated milk, divided
- 118.29 ml coconut milk
- 29.58 ml corn syrup
- 236.59 ml sliced almonds, toasted
- 354.88 ml shredded coconut, divided (1/2 cup is optional)
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 24 tart shells, frozen uncooked (3-inch size)
- 12 Kraft caramels, unwrapped and cut in half
directions
- Place 24 frozen tart shells on baking sheets. Let tart shells come to room temperature while you are preparing filling.
- In a double boiler, add chocolate chips, marshmallows and ½ cup evaporated milk. Heat, stirring frequently, until mixture is smooth, about 10 minutes.
- At the same time, pour ½ cup evaporated milk, coconut milk and corn syrup into a small saucepan and place over lowest heat setting. Do not set any higher! Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a hand blender. Very slowly, beat in the barely-warm evaporated milk and coconut milk mixture. Slowly drizzle in chocolate mixture while beating on low speed. When mixed, stir in toasted sliced almonds and 1 cup shredded coconut.
- Fill each tart almost to the top with chocolate mixture. Put ½ a caramel on top of each filled tart. Bake for 15 - 18 minutes, until shells are lightly browned. Immediately sprinkle each tart with 1 teaspoon coconut (optional).
- Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before handling. Serve warm if possible.

Made these as written though I think I used the wrong size tarts, however they came out great. I tripled the recipe to take to a potluck and because I had the wrong tarts shells I had a ton of the chocolate batter left so will make a shortbread crust and make into bars. These look fancy and have a lots of flavors and textures in a small bite. Will definitely make again!! Made for Craze-E Contest #3.

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
