Macaroon Tart
The Macaroon Tart from Super Natural Every Day is a simple sweet treat that will please anyone who loves coconut. A buttery tart base packed with coconut flakes is topped with a layer of blackberries and snowy macaroon tufts that turn a delicious golden brown when baked. Chopped pistachios provide a beautiful color contrast to the purple blackberries.
I made this for my grandma's birthday and then again for Mother's Day, and it was a huge hit both times. The first time, I lazily opted not to halve the blackberries, instead scattering them over the tart. This was a mistake because they should have been in a layer covering the entire tart base, to ensure that every bite contained some blackberry goodness. I fixed this the second time around and I feel that it was worth the extra step. Even with the tedious task of halving tons of tiny berries, this is still quite a quick dessert. A few extra notes: the pistachios don't shine here in terms of flavor, but are visually crucial to the dish, and in place of a tart pan I used a medium bar pan (stoneware). I may try coconut oil in place of the butter next time - it seems like an appropriate substitution.
