Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk the 3 egg yolks, 1/4 cup sugar, and 2 tbsp cornstarch until pale and thick, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
In a saucepan, heat the 1 cup coconut milk over medium until steaming, about 3 minutes. Do not boil.
Step 3
Slowly pour the hot coconut milk into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
Step 4
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low, stirring, until thickened to a pudding consistency, about 5 minutes. It should coat the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Spoon the custard into the 12 mini chocolate tart shells. Chill for 15 minutes until set.
Step 6
Toast the 1/2 cup coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium until golden, about 3 minutes, shaking often.
Step 7
Top each tart with toasted coconut and a mint leaf before serving.
