½ cup coconut cream (from chilled canned coconut milk)
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 tbsp sugar

Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin pan.
Make Cookie Dough:
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fold in shredded coconut.
Shape & Bake Cookie Cups:
Press about 1 tablespoon of dough into each mini muffin cup to form a small crust.
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool completely in the pan.
Prepare Filling:
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Add chilled coconut cream and beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with 1 tbsp sugar until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the coconut cream mixture.
Assemble Cookie Cups:
Spoon or pipe the coconut cream filling into the cooled cookie cups.
Top with toasted coconut flakes.
Chill:
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving for best texture.
Notes
Use well-chilled coconut cream for a richer, thicker filling.
Toast coconut flakes at 350°F for 5 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden.
Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Best enjoyed chilled.
