How many bites does it take to get to the crust in a slice of coconut cream pie?  My guess is 8 or so, depending on the size of your mouth.  I made you 8 bites of coconut cream pie to share with one lucky person. Remember when I made y’all baklava and I asked you to put the remaining phyllo sheets back in the freezer for another use?  Well, here’s the use for it.  Sorry for the delay. You will need 8 sheets of phyllo dough for these cute little tarts made in a standard muffin pan.  Each tart consists of a 5" circle made up of 4 layers of phyllo dough.  Be sure to brush butter on the muffin pan before you press in the layers of phyllo.  Add a final brushing of melted butter, bake, and viola!–you just made homemade tart shells without a fancy pan.
