Coconut Tart

An old‑fashioned Bahamian coconut tart isn’t just a dessert—it’s part of the islands’ culinary heritage. For generations, families have baked it with fresh grated coconut, sugar, and spice tucked into flaky pastry, often for holidays and Sunday gatherings. More than a sweet treat, it reflects the Bahamas’ tradition of using local coconuts and sharing food as a way of bringing people together.
