rating :

temps de préparation :


temps de cuisson :


Ingredients :


-150g grated coconut
-400g of shortcrust pastry
-0.5 l custard
-2 egg whites
-1 pinch salt
-juice of 1/2 lemon
-150g icing sugar

Method :

Spread the pastry out in a pastry case and prick it with a fork. Mix the custard together with the grated coconut and spread onto the shortcrust pastry. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, beat the eggwhites until stiff with a pinch of salt and the lemon juice. During the process, gradually add two tablespoons of icing sugar. The meringue is ready once you can turn the bowl upside down without the mixture coming out. Take the pastry out of the oven, spread the meringue over the pastry and sprinkle it with the leftover icing sugar. Place it under the grill until the meringue is slightly golden.
