I’d like to tell you I have been “all work and no play” but I’d be lying. We decided to take somewhat of an impromptu trip to sunny Florida to get some sun and warmth. We just got back this week and I miss it already! For those of you like me in the mid-north over the north east coast you know its still gray and even though Spring is trying to peak through we’re not quite their yet.

Nothing like taking a trip to a warmer climate to make you realize just how wonderful fresh and light food can be. I know in the winter I tend to gravitate towards foods that are heavy and comforting. But this trip started to awaken the desire for citrus and the freshness it brings to the palette.

It’s no secret that I love lemons and this Lemon Tart with Coconut Crust is no exception. The lemon filling melts in your mouth giving way to the punch of tart citrus! The hint of coconut in the crust adds to the flavor and the extra sprinkling of coconut on top adds a little bit of texture to compliment the creaminess. All topped off with whipped cream for a cooling touch.

Now this is completely for the lemon lover which you know I am. I take a small squeeze of fresh lemon top of mine, not too much, just enough for a little extra kick of tart.

Sweet lemony perfection with a hint of coconut in every bite! This would be a sunny welcomed addition to any dessert table.

Enjoy!
