TO DIE FOR!! Nice and quick for that morning tea with the girls!! * Hint: Use wet fingertips when pressing coconut mixture into patty pan. * Shortcut: To make chocolate filling, place cream and chocolate into a heatproof microwave-safe bowl. Heat, uncovered, for 1 to 11/2 minutes on HIGH (100%) power, stirring every 30 seconds, or until melted and smooth. Time does not include cooling time in fridge.

    I only had two normal size muffin tins so made 12 fairly large tarts but think the 18 suggested would have been better. The base recipe is great - I made mine a bit thick not being sure it would hold together but will flatten right down next time and cook for a bit longer to get it a bit crisper. I'll probably make a different filling next time though - this was delicious, but a bit expensive with all that chocolate and I don't normally have that around (for long). Inspired me to make something different (usually go for savoury recipes)so thank you. Your shortcut and hint were very useful.

    To die for is right! I enjoyed these when they were warm. I loved the meringue with the chocolate and the whipped cream- cream textures and flavors. I think the humidity caused a little problem with my meringue, but that was no fault of the recipe. I used mini muffin pans and ended up having some extra chocolate left over. I think I will use it to make more tomorrow! My tastebuds thank you for this one darang- I think my co-workers will be thanking you to once they take their first bite if there are any left EDIT: Everyone raved about these. People where almost fighting over them and kept asking if there were any more left. Thank you for making me look good!
