Coconut Cream Club Sandwich Recipes

ICE CREAM CLUB SANDWICH

Steps:

• Toast the frozen waffles according to package directions and let them cool. Remove the ice cream from the freezer and allow it to soften a bit. Slice the raspberries in half.
• Spread some ice cream evenly over 2 waffles. Cover 1 with raspberry halves. Press a wafer cookie gently onto the other. Gently press the 2 halves together to form a club sandwich. Put it into the freezer while you make the rest.
• Spread the chocolate chips and sprinkles onto plates. Remove the sandwiches from the freezer. Press 2 edges of each sandwich into the chocolate chips and the other 2 edges into the multi-color sprinkles. Carefully cut them in half using a serrated knife, put them onto plates, and drizzle with the raspberry coulis.
• 1 (10-ounce) bag frozen raspberries
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• Put the frozen berries, sugar, and lemon juice into a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often to mash the berries, until their juices are released. Press through a sieve to strain out the seeds. Cool and refrigerate. Will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for 3 days.

COCONUT CREAM CLUB SANDWICH

Steps:

• For cocounut custard: In a stainless steel sauce pan heat milk with coconut cream and vanilla bean until scalded. Meanwhile, whip yolks with sugar until very light and fluffy. On low speed mix in cornstarch. Gradually pour in hot milk infusion while mixing. Strain through a fine strainer back into the sauce pan and cook on high heat, whisking constantly until thickened and no starchy flavor is detected. Pour into a bowl and stir in butter. Place over an ice water bath and whisk constantly to chill. Fold in whipped cream. Keep chilled. For phyllo: Lay one sheet of phyllo on a parchment paper lined sheet pan. Brush with clarified butter, sprinkle with sugar and 1/4 cup toasted coconut. Repeat the process with the second and third sheets, omitting the coconut on top. Cut into 3- inch equilateral triangles. Place a sheet of parchment on top and weight it down with a heavy sheet pan small enough to fit inside of the other one. Bake at 350 degrees in a conventional oven checking until lightly golden brown, about 0 minutes. Let cool and break apart triangles. To serve: Stack phyllo, then coconut custard. Repeat, then top off with a piece of phylo. Serve garnished with Cranberry Compote, Glossy Chocolate Sauce and a mint sprig.

COCONUT CREAM CAKE II

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cake mix, oil, eggs, sour cream and cream of coconut. Mix until well blended. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
• Make the frosting while your cake cools. In a medium bowl, cream together the confectioners sugar, cream cheese and milk. Stir in the vanilla. Frost cooled cake then sprinkle with coconut.

COCONUT AND ALMOND ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Make the cookies: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Heat butter and semisweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water until melted.
• Beat sugar, eggs, vanilla, and melted-chocolate mixture with a mixer on medium speed until combined. Reduce speed to low, and gradually beat in flour mixture until just combined. Divide dough in half, and fold milk-chocolate chunks into 1 half.
• Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop, drop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake, rotating and tapping sheets on counter halfway through, until cookies are flat and surfaces begin to crack, 15 to 17 minutes. Transfer cookies on parchment to a wire rack, and let cool.
• Meanwhile, make the candied almonds: Raise oven temperature to 350 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Bring sugar, butter, corn syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Add almonds, and stir to coat. Spread out onto baking sheet, and bake, tossing occasionally to recoat nuts, until golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool. Finely chop nuts, and sift to discard dust.
• Assemble the sandwiches: Using a 2 1/2-inch ice cream scoop, drop ice cream onto half of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies (group plain chocolate cookies together and milk-chocolate-chunk cookies together). Press down gently to push ice cream to edge of cookies. Place candied almonds and coconut in 2 separate bowls. Roll outside of each milk-chocolate-chunk sandwich in almonds; transfer to a baking sheet. Roll outside of each chocolate sandwich in coconut; transfer to baking sheet. Freeze until ready to serve.

COCONUT CREAM BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread coconut in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring once or twice, until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely. Leave oven on.
• Process cookies and 1/2 cup coconut in a food processor until finely ground and mixture begins to clump together, about 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet; press into an even layer on bottom. Bake until golden and firm to the touch, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on sheet on a wire rack.
• Whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a large saucepan. Whisk in milk and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil, 5 to 6 minutes. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 3 minutes more. Remove from heat. Add butter, whisking until combined. Stir in 1 1/2 cups coconut.
• Spoon the custard onto cooled crust; smooth top with an offset spatula. Press plastic wrap directly onto custard surface, to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.
• Beat cream and confectioners' sugar in a large chilled stainless-steel bowl until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
• Cut custard-filled crust into 24 bars (each about 3 by 1 1/2 inches). Transfer to a platter. Spoon whipped cream into a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip. Beginning at one corner, pipe a zigzag pattern over each bar. Sprinkle bars with remaining 1/2 cup coconut.
