Coconut Jam is thoroughly delicious eaten straight from the jar with a spoon but here are a few ideas for using coconut jam in a dinner party worthy dessert.

Chocolate & Coconut Tart

This tart features a blind-baked shortcrust pastry case with coconut jam filling and topped with melted dark chocolate. The slightly salty pastry and the bitter chocolate are a lovely and necessary counterpoint to the intense sweetness of the coconut jam.

I used a half quantity of the pastry used for my Apple Pie. This made three individual sized tarts. I used about 30g (1 oz) of chocolate per tart.

If you are looking for a gluten free or vegan pastry I would recommend the pastry recipe from my Pear, Prune & Almond Tarts

Use your favourite best quality chocolate to make some delectable chocolates. Dark chocolate is best.
