Coconut Pecan Tarts
With coconuts being plentiful it makes sense that these tartlets are a sweet snack enjoyed on the island. They're spiced with a bit of nutmeg and sweetened with brown sugar. I add the pecans for crunch and to give them the pecan pie taste loved by so many. Gizzadas usually come in regular pastry that is pinched on the sides. The other crunch element comes from the phyllo dough, which is also meant to mimic the pinched pattern. I think it adds some more life and the cups hold just fine, enjoy!
