Belizean Coconut Tarts

[@CookingwithShirani]

Well here it is for you guys! Finally sharing my recipe for Belizean Coconut Tarts. This has been a very highly requested video. Hope you enjoy!

[@geraldinejoseph6589]

Hello Shiarini. I have and still enjoy cooking with your recipes. At 73 years old living in Arizona, I’m eventually enjoying my foods recalling the authentic flavors embedded in my memory. Words cannot express to you how grateful I am for your love of our BELIZEAN cuisine and not compromising too greatly the ingredients and methods. I cook and bake for my friends introducing them to our dishes and haven’t yet been told anything other than how delicious and balanced my food is. Thanks to you. I wanted to add a couple pictures of my bread and powderbuns and potatoes salad, but don’t know how as I don’t do facebook or any other media but emails and WhatsApp. I always do a “like” for the recipes I tried. Thanks again for your easy to follow recipes and stories of your family.❤❤

[@CookingwithShirani]

Hello Dear! Wow, this comment made me so happy to read. This means a lot to me. Thank you so much 🥰. I love that you still enjoy cooking and especially my recipes 😊. You can email me your pictures at [e-mail] Much love ❤️❤️

[@paulacurran3091]

I love coconut too. And the way you measure is so smart to ensure they are all the same size. Thank you for this. I do not have condensed milk right now but plan to pick some up to make these.

[@CookingwithShirani]

You are very welcome! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video. I'm glad you like the little tips. Have fun making yours and enjoy 😊❤️

[@CRISSGRULLON]

[@CookingwithShirani]

[@fleridalopez4384]

I,do believe..upon watching lots of cooking demos on You Tube….I KNOW when the person whether a Chef…a progessional baker/cook KNOWS WHAT he/she doing….I mean he/she is a PRO!! How do I know??? Easy Peasy!!L JUST WATCH the HAND MOVEMENTS ……precision movements….not groping around..feeling uneasy…..unsure of what his/her cooking or baking is all about….. With you…..ONE of THE MANY i follow and watch….IS a PRO!! Keep it up…….

Omg!! I just searched this recipe!! My mom's family is from Corozal, but I burn in Mexico, so I grow up with Belizean food. Thanks for the recipe!!

[@CookingwithShirani]

You are very welcome Evan. There's nothing like some good Belizean food but I also love Mexican food 😊

[@jimdavidson3345]

Wonderful video and recipe. Love your easy manner and precision! You really find joy in your endeavor! I would use my scale to make sure each portion of dough and filling was exactly the same - obsessive! I have so much to do today; but I am going to run to the store to get what I need to make these tarts even if I am up into the wee hours. Thank you!

[@CookingwithShirani]

You are so welcome. Thank you, too. That means a lot 🥰. I do use my scale a lot, too, but I never thought to use it for this one. You just gave me an idea 😁. I hope you get to make them today. Enjoy and Happy New Year!

I've never experimented with this dough. This is the only way I have ever made it, so I can't say for sure.

A pain in the butt sure it is a lot of work. And when done it is delicious. Coconut Tart is my favourite. And rice pudding.

[@carlos24469]

In the uk we have self raising flour and plain flour. Which one would you recommend?

[@CookingwithShirani]

Use the plain flour.

[@belizeanfilife]

Hello can I ask where you bought the little tart pans from and what size are they

[@CookingwithShirani]

Hello Natasha, I bought them on Amazon. Here is the link for you. amzn.to/3GLI1Yd

[@islandgirl3330]

I just found your channel. I never had your country's food. I will try some of your recipes. I don't buy salted butter. Is there a great difference using unsalted butter? Can you roll the pastry out and then put it in the cups? Does it change the pastry if you spray the cups? Thanks.

[@CookingwithShirani]

So glad you found my channel 😊 When using the butter the only difference is it doesn't taste salty so you can add a pinch to the recipe. I haven't tried rolling the pastry then putting it in the cups but I think it would work. No it doesn't change the pastry if you spray the cups.

[@faezahjulie]

Hi did u grease the tart tins? Reply asap pls

[@CookingwithShirani]

Hi, no I didn't.

[@gundamwarrior606]

Looking good cuz

[@CookingwithShirani]

Thanks 😊

[@faezahjulie]

Can tihis dough be rolled out & cut with vookie cutter? Pls reply

[@faezahjulie]

Cookie cutter cos im busy making it now

[@CookingwithShirani]

Oh no, my reply is going to be too late now. I've never done it that way, but I think you would have to flour your counter before rolling it out so it doesn't stick to it.

[@manuelalmendarez2232]

I wanted something sweet and i guess its what i will do

[@CookingwithShirani]

Enjoy!!

[@tonchua6353]

Can we brush with butter or oil for the tart pan so that the tart easily come off?

[@CookingwithShirani]

Yes, you can.

[@ethelsolomon984]

That is what I saw my granparents, great parents too. Grease the tart tins and no problem getting the finished product out

Do you have the recipe for coconut empanadas?
