Coconut And Berry Cream Roll Recipes

RASPBERRY COCONUT JELLY ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 10 1/2" by 15 1/2" jelly roll pan with baking parchment and lightly coat with nonstick vegetable spray.
• Into a large bowl, sift the flour and baking powder together three times.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks, vanilla, and 1/4 cup of the sugar together until thick, pale yellow and when drizzled, will hold a ribbon shape for 2 seconds on the surface. This should take about 5 minutes.
• Fold in the flour mixture.
• In another clean, dry mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with the pinches of salt and cream of tartar until creamy and foamy. With the mixer still running, sprinkle in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and whisk until the egg whites hold very soft peaks (the consistency of shaving cream).
• In thirds, fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake for 8 minutes, until barely golden. Set the pan on a rack to cool.
• Make the vanilla cream filling: With an electric mixer, beat together the vegetable shortening and butter until blended. Turn the mixer down to its lowest setting and gradually add the confectioners' sugar. Turn the mixer back up and beat at high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. At a drizzle, gradually beat in the vanilla and corn syrup until the filling is the consistency of mayonnaise, about 2 minute more.
• Run the tip of a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen it from the sides. Dust the surface with confectioners' sugar. Flip the cake onto a dry work surface. With a spatula, spread a 1/8" thick layer of vanilla cream over the cake. Mix the preserves and water until smooth, then carefully spread 1/3 of it in a very thin layer over the vanilla cream. Roll up tightly. Spread the rest of the preserves around the outside of the roll. Sprinkle the coconut on a cookie sheet. Roll the cake through the coconut to coat completely. Refrigerate for 1 hour to set, then trim the ends even.

COCONUT AND BERRY CREAM ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Oil a 17-by-12-inch rimmed baking sheet. Line with parchment and oil the parchment. Sprinkle the parchment evenly with 1 1/4 cups of the coconut.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and the remaining 1/2 cup of coconut. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg yolks and 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar until opaque, about 1 minute. Add the coconut milk and vanilla on medium speed, then increase the speed to high and continue to beat until the mixture is pale yellow, fluffy, and about doubled in size, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
• With clean beaters, in a clean bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed until they have lost that yellow hue, about 1 minute. While beating, pour in the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar. Continue to beat until you have stiff, shiny peaks, 4 to 5 minutes.
• With a large rubber spatula, fold the flour mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Then, carefully fold the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture, taking care not to deflate it. Dollop the batter onto the prepared pan and then use a long, offset spatula to spread it out evenly. Again, try not to deflate the batter too much. (Without leavener, the whipped eggs are what lift the cake.)
• Bake the cake until light golden brown and set, 20 to 24 minutes. Meanwhile, set a clean dish towel on a work surface and sprinkle it evenly with confectioners' sugar. Gently press the center of the cake and it should spring back. Cut around the edges of the warm cake with a sharp knife to release it from the pan, then invert it onto the prepared dish towel. Remove the parchment paper. Roll up the towel and the cake, starting with the short end, and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
• To finish: Toss the berries with the granulated sugar and refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 1 hour.
• Whip the cream and confectioners' sugar to stiff peaks. (Do not overwhip.) Reserve 2 cups of the whipped cream for serving. Unroll the cake. Spread with the remaining whipped cream and top evenly with the berries, lifting them out of the syrup with a slotted spoon. Roll the cake back up and transfer to a serving plate. To serve, sprinkle the cake with confectioners' sugar before slicing. Serve each piece with extra berries, a drizzle of the reserved berry syrup and dollop of the reserved whipped cream.
