Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Cream together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, then mix in flour and salt to form a crumbly dough.
  3. Press the mixture evenly into the lined muffin cups to create tart bases.
  4. In a medium saucepan, combine chopped fresh rhubarb, sugar, and lemon juice and cook for 5-7 minutes until soft.
  5. Whisk egg whites until frothy, then mix in sugar, coconut, vanilla extract, and salt to create the topping mixture.
