INGREDIENTS
Macadamia Nut Coconut Tart
Think of this pretty tart as a tropical version of traditional pecan pie. The sweet, buttery filling bakes up like a custard richly flavored with KAUAI GROWN FRESH EGGS and KAUAI GROWN PURE VANILLA . Each slice is packed with KAUAI GROWN MACADAMIA NUTS and sweetened flaked KAUAI COCONUT. This recipe came from "Gourmet" (11/2006) You will need a 10 inch two piece, tart pan. If you do not have pie weights you can substitute raw rice contained in foil.
