-
1For Crust: In a large bowl of stand mixer, cream 1 cup softened butter with 2/3 cup sugar until fluffy. Add in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon almond extract, beat to incorporate. Gradually add in 2 1/2 cups flour, then 2 tablespoons chopped basil and mix together. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for several hours.

2Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray with non stick baking spray 8 (5 inch) tart tins. Shape chilled dough into 8 large golf ball size pieces and press each into bottom and up sides of prepared tins.

3For Filling: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together 4 large eggs , 2 large egg yolks, 1 1/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon ruby red juice. Cook for 10 minutes stirring constantly, until thickened. Add in 1 teaspoon toasted coconut, 1 teaspoon chopped almonds, and 3 tablespoons butter; remove from heat and continue to stir until butter is melted. Pour filling, dividing evenly over each tart crust and bake for approximately 35 minutes, until filling is set and crust is golden. Cool.
