kcalIngredients
For the Crust:
1 1/2 cups white whole-wheat flour
3/4 cup unsweetened finely shredded coconut
3/4 cup sifted and lightly packed natural cane sugar
1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
2 cups unsweetened finely shredded coconut
1/2 cup sifted and lightly packed natural cane sugar
4 large egg whites
8 ounces fresh blackberries, halved
1/3 cup pistachios, crushed
Directions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the white whole-wheat flour, 3/4 cup shredded coconut, cane sugar, and sea salt. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a tart pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool.
- Prepare the Filling: In another bowl, combine 2 cups shredded coconut, 1/2 cup cane sugar, and egg whites. Mix until well incorporated.
- Assemble the Tart: Once the crust is cooled, spread the coconut and egg white filling evenly over the crust. Arrange the halved blackberries on top of the filling, pressing them gently into the mixture. Sprinkle the crushed pistachios over the top for extra texture and flavor.
- Bake: Bake the tart for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool before slicing and serving.
