Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, then mix in flour and salt to form a crumbly dough. Press into muffin tin.
  3. In a saucepan, combine chopped rhubarb, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened, then cool slightly.
  4. Whisk egg whites until frothy, then fold in sugar, shredded coconut, vanilla, and salt to create the coconut topping.
  5. Spoon rhubarb filling into each crust, followed by a scoop of coconut topping, pressing down gently.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until coconut topping is golden brown. Let cool in the tin.
  7. Remove cooled tarts from the muffin tin and serve.
