Hay Hay Donna My Tarts Broke
I wish I'd listened to Bordeaux . He wisely put his coconut mixture into paper cases and removed the paper after they had baked. I put mine straight into a pan and all but 3 broke as I removed them from the pan. So I ended up with three tarts and a mass of broken coconut shells. Which I turned into layers with the chocolate cream and mango.
I used a 70% cocoa chocolate which is not very sweet. It needed the fruit to lift the flavour. The flavours and textures of the mango, coconut and chocolate were a perfect combination.

Even the broken ones look good to me!

Mmmm mango, coconut and chocolate what a great combination!
I like the layers, far easier and more elegant to eat than having them crumble in your hand and shatter all over the place! hehe

I agree--eating things with a spoon is always fun.

These look delightful. I love your combination of dark chocolate and bright-sweet yellow mango. And what you did with the broken one's made my mouth water. The pictures look lovely!

Beautiful looking tart Barb - I love the contrast in colour between the chocolate and the mango.

Aw, I'm sorry that the tarts broke. But you salvaged them quite gracefully. Chocolate and mango sounds sensational.

I'll get my tart ready this week. That nice looking piece of mango there.

These really are lovely, and what a great idea to make them into a little trifle.
