Coconut Lavender Tartlets Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Tart Shells:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1-2 tablespoons ice water

For the Coconut Custard:

1 cup coconut milk

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon lavender extract (or a few fresh lavender buds, finely crushed)

For the Whipped Coconut Cream:

1 can (14 ounces) coconut cream, chilled overnight

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnish:

Toasted coconut flakes

Lavender buds

Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

Make the Tart Shells:

In a food processor, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Pulse to mix.

Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough starts to come together.

Press the dough into tartlet molds and prick the bottom with a fork.

Chill for 30 minutes, then bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes or until golden. Let cool completely.

Prepare the Coconut Custard:

Whisk together sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan.

Gradually whisk in coconut milk, ensuring no lumps form.

Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and lavender extracts. Allow to cool slightly before pouring into the cooled tart shells. Chill until set.

Make the Whipped Coconut Cream:

Scoop out the solidified coconut cream from the chilled can, leaving any liquid behind.

Whip the coconut cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Assemble the Tartlets:

Once the custard is set, spoon or pipe the whipped coconut cream onto each tartlet.

Garnish with toasted coconut flakes, lavender buds, and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Serve:

Allow the tartlets to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best flavor and texture.

Random thing but something I was thinking about, comparing characters like Vanilla Sugar, Second Watcher and Cube Choco, I’m pretty sure Dark Choco would have been baked after the Dark Flour War

When we see past Vanilla Sugar, this was the day the Dark Flour War ended, and to me she doesn’t seem any older than her early 20s. When we meet her in present day though, she’s very much an old woman (I don’t know much about the difference in age between people older than 60, so I’m just gonna give a random answer and say she’s like 80? Maybe 90?)

Then compare that to the flashback picture we see of a baby Dark Choco, featuring young Second Watcher and Cube Choco, with their present day counterparts (also the Gatekeeper, but he looks the same both there and now, so disregard him)

They’re definitely on the older side nowadays, Cube Choco in particular, but given the fact they’re both still active members of the Watchers, I don’t imagine them to be any more than like, their late 50s or something

Again I reiterate that while I can’t really discern ages older than like 60, or what is considered “old”, but just comparing these three’s different ages by appearance alone, it seems pretty clear that there’s no way they’ve aged the same amount of time, and thus Dark Choco had to have been baked sometime after the Dark Flour War ended

(Okay, I don’t really know if this was necessary, but I usually headcanon Dark Choco to have been baked shortly before the war, so that he’d know the other Ancients like Pure Vanilla. But then I realized this and that it meant that logically, that doesn’t make sense, and I just wanted to share that realization. Also I think this argument holds some water since all three characters are normal Cookies who don’t seem like they’d have any reason to age weird, so it’s a relatively easy way to compare)
