Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 10 min.

Roll out 200 g coconut sweetcrust pastry and line your chosen tin or mould ( rectangular here).

Leave the spare pastry overhanging the edges and put to wait in the fridge.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Put 130 g icing sugar and 130 g dessicated coconut in a large bowl and mix with a whisk.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 2 min.

Add 60 g egg white and mix with a spoon. The mixture should be fairly thick.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 2 min.

Take the pastry case out of the fridge and trim around the edge.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 1 min.

Prick all over the base with a fork or pastry pricker.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 4 min.

Fill with a thick layer of the coconut mixture, ensuring it is even and level.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 30 min.

Bake for about 30 minutes.

European glass

A little dessert that's rather long to make, but which will always impress your guests. Layered in a glass: a jellied red fruit coulis, a layer of pineapple charlotte cream, a layer of kiwi coulis, topped with a peeled clementine segment. It's "european" because it resembles the italian flag, and in another version with apricot instead raspberries, the irish flag (a country so dear to me).
