Polynesian Pleasures

These little tarts are sure to tug at the heart strings of your flavor of the week. Crisp on the outside and gooey on the inside they are reminiscent of oneself. Chicks always have 'dried' shit around so I am sure you will be able to find dried coconut and pineapple somewhere. Do not try to substitute canned or fresh as you will totally fuck it all up, as usual. Let's begin:

In a big bowl cream 2 sticks of room temperature butter, 2 tsp vanilla, and 1/2c confectioner's sugar. Ok dumbass, confectioner's sugar is the really fine shit that is sometimes called 10x. Like the zucchini is sometimes called a courgette. That really pissed me off when I figured that out and sure enough it's French.

Dump in 1 3/4c flour and 2tbl cornstarch and mix around manually until you get a dough ball like the one in the picture above. Smack it around a little bit to firm it up.

Take little pieces of the big ball and press into muffin tins. "What's with the muffin fixation? Why always with the muffins?" Wow, what stupid questions. Muffins are the end all of food evolution. Monkeys in the future will eat muffins.

Drop like 3 or so pineapple preserves in each cup. Top with a whisked mixture of 1/2c sugar (the regular kind now genius), 1 1/2c shredded coconut, and 1 egg. "What's with the pictures?" Okay jerk face, since I broke my camera a friend let me borrow theirs but it's from like 1985 and the size of a brick so back on up off it.


350 deg and 25-30 min later you got yourself a tropical paradise in a muffin tin. Remove from the pan after ~5min.
