Caramel Tart with Almonds, Coconut, and Marshmallows
Do any of you have anxiety about using phyllo dough? Please tell me I’m not the only one! I’ve eaten plenty of flaky phyllo in baklava, spanakopita, and other delicious appetizers and desserts; but until just recently, I had never created anything with this fantastically thin dough with my very own hands.
So when Athens Foods asked me to create something elegant, perfect for holiday entertaining…using their phyllo dough…yes, I admit, I was a teensy bit apprehensive. But kitchen challenges have always proven worthy of my time. They continue to stretch me, and open up my world a little more with each new adventure. Thanks to this gorgeous Caramel Tart with Almonds, Coconut, and Marshmallows, I’ll forever think of phyllo in a brand new way.
Really…what was I so afraid of?!
Today I’m sharing this pretty and oh-so-fun-and-yummy dessert on Phyllo.com, a site sponsored by Athens Foods, the world’s largest producer of fillo dough.
Head over to Phyllo.com for the full post and recipe. Enjoy!

So Pretty! I have never used phyllo before.
I’d love a slice of this heavenly looking dessert! Gorgeous job Brenda :)
I don’t have a square tart pan. What do you suggest for a substitution or do I need to buy a tart pan? Thanks
Hi Linda, I’d like to tell you that you could try “fre-forming” the tart without a pan, but I’m afraid that the caramel would ooze out and you’d have a mess. I’ve always wanted a square tart pan, so this was my perfect excuse to purchase one!
This would be such a great dessert for the holidays! So pretty!
Beautiful tart!
This is simply gorgeous! Phyllo desserts are wonderful.
My biggest worry about phyllo is that it will dry out before I can work with it. Looks like you had great success with yours!
Sounds so delicious–pinning!
Great recipe Brenda! An Almond Joy bar on buttery pastry sheets, Yummy! Yes, phyllo sheets stress me out because I ruin more than I sucessfully prepare, but your step-by-step recipe should remove that obstacle. Great recipe with the holidays coming up!
Pinned!
You had me at marshmallow. All of my favorite Fall ingredients yum!!! I bet this is a wonderful recipe, must try!
I LOVE eating phyllo dough, but not so much making it. :) So glad Athens Foods makes a tasty pre-made version! This tart sounds scrumptious.
PS A belated congrats on the new site design, lady! It’s beautiful!
I have felt the exact same way about phyllo, which is a shame because I love it! This tart looks like a nice way to get myself very acquainted :)
Looks like a fantastic tart! I’m a coconut fan, though. Not sure how my husband (he’s a hater) would think… but, oh well, more for me!
I love phyllo dough and coconut and almonds and caramel! Oh and yes, phyllo sort of stresses me out, but normally I get the hang of the thin sheets after I have ruined like 5! Looks amazing Brenda!
This looks wonderful! I love the combination of caramel, almonds and coconut!
