Refrigerated crescent roll dough forms the easy flaky crust for this tart. Coconut and hazelnuts give texture and subtle flavor to the lemony filling.



   1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent rolls
   1 cup sugar
   1/4 cup all-purpose flour
   2 to 3 teaspoons grated lemon peel
   3 to 4 tablespoons lemon juice
   1 teaspoon vanilla extract
   4 eggs
   1 cup coconut
   1 cup finely chopped hazelnuts (filberts) or walnuts
   1 to 2 tablespoons powdered sugar


Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom.* Separate dough into 8 triangles. Place in greased pan; press in bottom and up sides to form crust. Seal perforations. Bake at 350°F. for 5 minutes. Cool 5 minutes; gently press sides of warm crust to top of pan.

In large bowl, combine sugar, flour, lemon peel, lemon juice, vanilla and eggs; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. Stir in coconut and hazelnuts. Pour filling into partially baked crust.

Bake at 350°F. for an additional 25 to 30 minutes or until filling is set and crust is golden brown. Cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Store in refrigerator.

*TIP: A 10-inch round pizza pan can be substituted for the tart pan. Bake crust at 350°F. for 5 minutes; bake filled crust an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
