Coconut Rum Souffles With Chocolate Rum Sauce Recipes

COCONUT AND WHITE CHOCOLATE SOUFFLES WITH MANGO-RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• For the Mango-Rum Sauce:
• In a 1-quart saucepan, combine all of the ingredients except the rum and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the mangoes until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and place in a blender. Puree until smooth, about 30 seconds. Remove from the blender, stir in the rum and serve the warm sauce with the souffles. (If made in advance, the sauce may be refrigerated for up to 2 days before using but should be returned to room temperature before serving.)
• Yield: about 2 cups.
• Souffles:.
• In a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and coconut milk and bring to a simmer.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks with 1/2 cup of the sugar and the flour and whisk until well-blended and pale yellow in color. Add about 3(tablespoons) of the heated milk mixture to the bowl with the egg mixture and stir to combine. Pour the contents of the bowl into the saucepan, and cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, 3 to 4 minutes. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
• Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the white chocolate, whisking until the chocolate has melted and is completely combined. Add the coconut to the pan and stir to blend. Transfer hot mixture to a large, heatproof mixing bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap over the pastry cream to prevent a skin from forming while it cools. Cool to room temperature before proceeding.
• Using a pastry brush, coat the inside of each of 8 (4-ounce) ramekins with some of the melted butter. Using 4 tablespoons of the sugar, lightly coat the inside of each of the buttered ramekins with some of the sugar. Set aside until ready to use.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Remove the plastic wrap from the pastry cream, and, using a hand held mixer with a whip attachment, beat the pastry cream until smooth. Add the rum to the pastry cream and whisk to incorporate. In a separate medium mixing bowl, add the egg whites. Using cleaned whip attachments for the mixer, beat the egg whites until they begin to turn white and foamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar to the bowl, and continue to beat the egg whites until soft peaks develop. Using a large plastic spatula, fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the pastry cream. Gently fold the remainder of the egg whites into the pastry cream base in 2 additions just until incorporated. Divide the souffle batter evenly among the 8 ramekins and place them on a sheet pan. Bake the souffles until they have risen at least 1-inch from the rim of the ramekins and the centers are set, about 12 to 14 minutes.
• Serve the souffles as soon as they come from the oven, dusted with powdered sugar and with the Mango-Rum Sauce spooned over the top.

COCONUT SOUFFLES WITH CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F. Butter six 3/4-cup custard cups (3 1/2 by 2 1/2inches) or a 1-quart shallow baking dish and coat with sugar, knocking out excess sugar.
• In a baking pan spread coconut evenly and toast until pale golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool coconut in pan on a rack. Toasted coconut may be made 2 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
• In a saucepan melt butter over moderately low heat and whisk in flour. Cook roux, stirring, 3 minutes and whisk in coconut milk. Bring mixture to a boil, whisking constantly, and simmer, whisking occasionally, 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in lemon juice, coconut extract, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and cool mixture, its surface covered with a buttered round of wax paper. Chill coconut mixture until cold, at least 2 hours, and up to 2 days.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• With a wooden spoon beat coconut mixture to loosen. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat whites with cream of tartar and a pinch salt until they just hold soft peaks. Gradually add remaining 4 tablespoons sugar, beating until whites just hold stiff peaks. Stir one fourth whites into coconut mixture to lighten and fold in remaining whites and three fourths toasted coconut gently but thoroughly.
• Pour soufflé mixture into custard cups or baking dish and sprinkle with remaining toasted coconut. Run tip of a knife around edges of soufflés to aid rising. Bake soufflés in lower third of oven until puffed and golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes if using custard cups or 20 to 25 minutes if using baking dish.
• Make chocolate sauce while soufflés are baking:
• Chop chocolate. In a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate, stirring until smooth. Remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat and stir in cream until combined well.
• Chocolate sauce keeps, covered and chilled, 1 week.
• Top soufflés with sauce and serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE COCONUT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan whisk together the cream of coconut and the heavy cream, bring the mixture to a simmer, and whisk in the chocolates, whisking until they are melted and the sauce is smooth. Whisk in the coconut extract, the salt, and the Malibu and serve the sauce warm or at room temperature over ice cream.

CHOCOLATE COCONUT RUM CAKE

Steps:

• In a baking dish toast 2/3 cup of the coconut in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven until it just begins to color, transfer it to a small bowl, and let it cool.
• In a metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water melt the chocolate and the butter with the rum, stirring, until the mixture is smooth and remove the bowl from the heat. In a bowl whisk together the yolks, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, the flour, and the salt until the mixture is smooth and whisk in the chocolate mixture and the remaining (untoasted) 1/3 cup coconut. In another bowl with an electric mixer beat the whites until they hold soft peaks and beat in the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar until the whites just hold stiff peaks. Stir half the whites into the chocolate mixture and fold in the remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Pour the mixture into a buttered 7- or 8-inch springform pan, bake the cake in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until it is set and the top is puffed and cracked, and let it cool in the pan on a rack. (The cake will fall as it cools.)
• Remove the side of the pan from the cake and spread the frosting on the side of the cake. Holding the cake in one hand over the bowl of toasted coconut, with the other hand press the coconut onto the frosting, letting the excess fall back into the bowl.
• The cake may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered loosely and chilled.
• Make the frosting while the cake is cooling:
• In a bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter, add the rum, the salt, and the confectioners' sugar, and beat the frosting until it is light and fluffy.
