Lilo's Lovely Lauhala Leaf Tarts
Inspired by the warmth of Hawaiian hospitality and Lilo's gentle nature, these individual tarts feature a sweet, creamy tropical filling nestled in a flaky crust. A perfect dessert to share, they evoke sunny island breezes and the joy of simple pleasures.

In a medium saucepan, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, coconut cream, passion fruit puree, egg yolks, and cornstarch until smooth.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

Pour the warm filling into a heatproof bowl; press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the filling to prevent a skin from forming.
