COCONUT CUSTARD TRIFLE WITH VANILLA BEAN WHIPPED CREAM AND TROPICAL FRUIT WITH MACADAMIA NUTS

Steps:

• For the custard: Place 2 cups cream, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup coconut flakes and the vanilla seeds and pod in a medium saucepan. Whisk to combine and bring to a boil over low heat.
• Meanwhile, combine the eggs and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl. In another bowl, combine the cornstarch and remaining 1/2 cup cream.
• When the cream and coconut mixture comes to a boil, remove it from the heat and whisk half into the egg and sugar mixture. Then IMMEDIATELY whisk it back into the pan with the hot cream and coconut mixture. (See Cook's Note.)
• Return the saucepan to medium heat and gradually whisk in the cornstarch and cream mixture. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat to thicken the pastry cream, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. (It is necessary to bring this mixture to a boil to cook the cornstarch; if the mixture is not brought to a boil, the mixture will feel starchy and gritty. The desired outcome is the consistency of vanilla pudding. YUM!) Strain the custard through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl and chill until chilled through. (This can be done really quickly over an ice bath.)
• For the tropical fruit salad: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the macadamia nuts on a small baking sheet and toast until golden and fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then roughly chop and set aside.
• Toast the remaining 1/4 cup coconut flakes in medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool and crisp.
• For the whipped cream: Beat the cream, sugar and vanilla seeds in a chilled mixing bowl with a hand mixer until the cream starts to thicken and hold soft peaks.
• To serve: Layer some pastry cream, pineapple, banana, starfruit, mango, whipped cream, toasted macadamia nuts and toasted coconut in 4 individual trifle dishes. Repeat the layers and top with a dollop of whipped cream, toasted macadamia nuts, toasted coconut and some fruit, including a slice of starfruit.

BUTTERSCOTCH BLONDIES WITH MACADAMIA NUTS AND CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium-high heat until melted. Continue to cook the butter, swirling the pan often, until the milk solids turn golden brown and the butter smells nutty, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. (You don't want the egg to scramble when you stir it in.) Stir in the brown sugar until smooth. Then stir in the egg and the vanilla extract. Stir in the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Then add half of the chocolate and half of the macadamia nuts. The batter will be thick.
• Tip the mixture out into the prepared pan. Use an offset spatula to smooth the dough to an even thickness. Sprinkle with the remaining chocolate and macadamia nuts. Bake until the dough is puffed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool on a rack. Using the parchment, lift the bar out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Cut into pieces and serve.

SALTED BUTTERSCOTCH BANANA BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. To make bread pudding: Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 13x9 pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. In a large bowl, toss together bread, nuts, coconut, and butter scotch chips. Spread on pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, evaporated milk, condensed milk, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Pour over bread mixture in baking dish, making sure bread is completely soaked in egg mixture. Cover; let sit 30 minutes. Dot with small pieces of butter. Bake, uncovered, 45-55 minutes or until top is crisp and golden brown.
• 2. To make butterscotch sauce: In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in light brown sugar, and corn syrup. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until thick, syrupy and golden in color, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cream and kosher salt. Cover to keep warm.
• 3. To make caramelized bananas: In a large, nonstick skillet, over medium high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons light brown sugar. Once butter-sugar mixture becomes bubbly, add bananas. Cook, flipping once, about 2-3 minutes per side, or until caramelized on both sides. Remove to a plate. (May need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding bananas. If so, add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon light brown sugar to skillet before adding second batch of bananas.)
• 4. To serve, top bread pudding with bananas and spoon butterscotch sauce over top. Serve immediately. If desired (to make this an even more decadent dessert), serve with vanilla ice cream.
