I just find it easier to divide the coconut more evenly without than with the liquid ingredients :-).

And thanks of the ingenious method of adding the coconut. My only caveat is that the coconut shouldn't be wadded up in the middle. Does it float and even distribute when you add the egg mixture?

They're delicious and so easy to make. With regards to your note to stir the mixture frequently to keep the coconut well distributed, I found it difficult to do and so I tried a different approach. I did not mix the coconut in the liquid mixture and simply divided it equally into the paper cups. Then I ladled the liquid mixture into the cups with the coconut. I found this easier to do and it seemed to do the trick. Thanks again for sharing this recipe! Regards, John Hi David,

Yes, you can make them without the paper. I do it all the time because I tried with the paper but they kept getting stuck and it was a mess. I use silicone muffin trays which I spray with nonstick vegetable spray before I fill them in I place it on a baking sheet which is about 3 inches high and fill it with water and bake for about 25 minutes at 300 degrees. When it is cooled off I place a plate over the tray and flip them over and give a little tap on each and they come right off then I put then in muffin paper and vola they are ready to eat. I hope this helps and enjoy I know my whole family loves them. Tanya Cabral Hi Ana. Yes, you can make them without the paper.

On second thought, the indentation doesn't bother me anymore. I will try it with some contrasting fruit the next time I make another batch. Raspberries are not available here so I will try it with some fresh mangoes, which are in season this time of the year. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!

If you want to try, I'd suggest starting with very good nonstick tins that are well coated with butter and see if that helps. Ana, the tarts can be very sticky, which is why my aunts use the papers.

The indentation in the middle is traditional; it's how I've always seem them. A friend does a very clear thing and puts a dollop of raspberry coulis in them. Lovely. So glad you liked them!
