Tuesdays With Dorie – Toasted Coconut Custard Tarts
I made up a batch of these on Saturday to bring to our new Dungeons and Dragons game on Saturday night. (shut up). I am a dwarf warrior named Thaddeus (shut up). Shut up (shut up).
You should have expected no less from a gentleman who has spent 100% of his $reading budget in the past year on graphic novels. I am a nerd. A geek. A square. A dwarf warrior.
Anyway, I made these into mini-tarts because I don’t own a bigger tart pan, and they’re easier to share, which is also nice. My friends were very complimentary towards the tarts and so they gave me +5 XP. That’s tart experience points, my friends.
I don’t know how to toast coconut properly, so I just dumped a bag of coconut into my toaster and pushed down the lever. There was much smoke.
That last paragraph didn’t really happen; just didn’t have anything else to say. Next week is MY TWD RECIPE. Expect some sort of glorious fanfare.

I was an elf warrior named Star. My weapon of choice was a crossbow. And, I had a dragon named Comet! Great looking tarts!

NERD NERD NERD! But remember in Revenge of the Nerds that Louis got the girl in the end. Why do you think I married a Nerd? Nerds rule the world. HA HA. PS- I literally gasped when I read that you put the coconut in the toaster. Don’t scare me like that. That wasn’t nice.

Beautiful tarts.
I had to look up how to toast coconut, and it DID NOT suggest using the toaster. LOL
