Sometimes I get bogged down with the traditional way a recipe is prepared and don't play with my food. Today was different. Today I decided that Lemon was the addition to this little tart I needed to brighten up a traditional recipe. I also had a little coconut hanging around and said, Why not?!? Why not, indeed!
Hope you love it as much as I do!

ReplyDeleteYum! I always like recipes with a combination of lemon and coconut! I think they are the perfect match! Thanks for sharing this Laurie!
ReplyDeleteLike the idea that it's more coconut than lemon and I wouldn't use anything but coconut milk in this one. Very nice. N
