    Made these for a pot luck the other day.
    What an amazing little treat, love the consistency of the chocolate after cooling and very impressed at how sturdy the shell itself became.
    Kind of had the opposite of ingredients at home so I ended up using unsweetened coconut and semi-sweet chocolate and it turned out great.
    also just before they solidified in the fridge I added some chopped blackberries to go on top.
    Simple and minimal ingredients, the perfect combination!

    This sounds terrific and I’d like to make it — but first question is whether it’s sweetened or unsweetened coconut.
    Thanks

    I find using silicone muffin/tart pans work best for removing tarts of any type.

    Yes! Same as Kelly; it smells wonderful, tastes wonderful but it is hard to get the cups out if the muffin tins. Thanks.
