COCONUT CARAMELS
Making your own candy may seem daunting, but time and attention are all you need. This recipe calls for two sugars: granulated, which provides the base for your caramel, and an inverted sugar, corn syrup, which stabilizes and keeps the caramel from crystalizing. The line between soft-chewy and hard candy is a delicate one, so a candy thermometer is recommended for precision. Ginger and cardamom will add a nice zing, but lean into other warm spices, such as cinnamon, black pepper or chili powder, if that's what you have on hand. A final coat of toasted, finely shredded coconut lends an almost buttery crunch, and prevents the pieces from sticking. Wrap up individually if you have the time: These are made for sharing and can be frozen for up to a month.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread the coconut flakes in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet, and toast until light golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Brush an 8-inch baking dish generously with coconut oil or coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle about 3 to 4 tablespoons of toasted coconut in an even layer on the bottom of the pan, and set aside.
- In a medium heavy saucepan, combine the coconut cream, sugar, corn syrup and sea salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Boil, stirring frequently especially toward the end, until a candy thermometer reaches 250 degrees and caramel is a light golden brown and thickened, about 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the ginger and cardamom.
- Pour the caramel into the prepared pan. Once the caramel stops bubbling and the surface forms a thin skin, about 3 minutes, sprinkle another 4 tablespoons toasted coconut across the surface. Allow to cool at room temperature and set completely, about 2 hours.
- Run a spatula around the sides of the baking dish, loosen and lift the caramel, and move onto a board or clean surface.
- Slice the caramel into 8 (1-inch-wide) strips, then across into 1/2-inch pieces, so you have about 72 caramels. Roll the sides of each piece in more toasted coconut. Wrap as individual sweets using 4- to 5-inch squares of parchment, wax paper, or cellophane, or use store-bought candy wrappers, twisting the ends to seal. Store at room temperature in a cool dry place. Caramels will keep stored at room temp for up to 7 days or frozen after wrapping for up to 1 month.
COCONUT CARAMELS
When I had an abundance of coconut milk, I came up with the idea of using it to flavor homemade caramels. They're always among the first of my Christmas candies to disappear.-Wendy Rusch, Trego, Wisconsin

COCONUT CREME CARAMEL
Steps:
- Melt 1/2 cup sugar with 3 tablespoons water in a saucepan over medium-low heat, occasionally swirling the pan, until the sugar starts to bubble and turn golden brown, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and divide the syrup among 8 (1/2) cup ramekins so the bottoms and sides are covered with the syrup. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining sugar, coconut milk, whole milk, and eggs in a bowl until the sugar is completely dissolved. Divide the mixture among the ramekins. Create a water bath by filling a baking dish halfway with water. Place the ramekins in it and bake until the custards set, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the water bath. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate and least 12 hours. To serve, loosen the sides with a knife and invert custard onto plates so the caramel is on top, drizzling any remaining caramel on the plates around the custard. Serve chilled garnished with a mint leaf.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325F.
- Make the caramel: Cook the sugar in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, swirling the pan constantly, until brown.
- Stir the hot water into the caramel, being careful to guard against splattering (the mixture will bubble vigorously).
- Boil the mixture, swirling the pan occasionally, until the sugar is thoroughly dissolved, about 2 minutes.
- Pour the caramel syrup into a 1-quart souffle dish or five 4-ounce ramekins.
- Tilt the molds to coat all of the surfaces with caramel.
- Make the custard: Combine the coconut milk, milk and sugar in a medium saucepan over low heat.
- Scald until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla.
- Gradually whisk the hot coconut milk mixture into the eggs, blending thoroughly.
- Strain the custard through a fine sieve into a bowl.
- Carefully pour into the caramel-lined souffle dish or ramekins.
- Line a large roasting pan with 2 layers of paper towels (see Note).
- Put the souffle dish in the roasting pan and add hot water to reach halfway up the side of the dish.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 50 minutes (30 minutes if using ramekins), or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Be careful not to let the water boil; do not disturb the custard while baking.
- This is the only"secret" to producing a smooth and velvety custard.
- Remove the souffle dish immediately from the hot water.
- Allow to cool in a cold-water bath.
- Chill thoroughly.
- To serve, run a knife around the edge of the custard and turn out onto dessert plates.
- Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
- Note: The paper towels in the roasting pan serve a twofold purpose: First, they allow the hot water to circulate under the souffle dish while baking to distribute the heat evenly; second, if using small ramekins, it stabilizes them and keeps them from moving around while baking.

Steps:

- Meanwhile melt 1/2 (1/2 cup) of the caramel in microwave.
- Drizzle melted caramel over baked crust and return to oven for 10-12 minutes or until medium brown and caramel is bubbly.
- Removed crust from oven, working quickly, use a heat proof plastic knife (plastic reduces the drag on sticky baked goods), or a bench knife, to loosen the edges of the crust from the pan; cut into 2 dozen bars, leaving them in the pan. (It is easier to cut these bars while still warm).
- Sprinkle bars with the chocolate chips.
- Allow chocolate chips to soften about 5 minutes, then spread chocolate evenly over bars.
- Set aside to cool completely.
- Loosen the bars from the edge of pan again, using a flexible spatula to lift the bars out of the pan.
