COCONUT MILK COFFEE CREAMER

Steps:

• Put coconut milk, syrup, and vanilla extract in a glass jar with a lid. Shake to mix.

COCONUT TOFFEE

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper overlapping the sides (for easy lifting).
• In a heavy bottomed 3-quart saucepan over medium heat, mix the sugar and the water over medium heat. Cook until the mixture reaches the soft ball consistency, or a temperature of 235 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Stir in the coconut, cardamom and add food coloring, if using. (The toffee should be a pale, gentle pink.)
• Quickly spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan, firmly pressing it into the corners. Allow it to cool and harden (takes a number of hours!). Cut or break into delicate squares or pieces and enjoy!

COCONUT COLD BREW COFFEE

Steps:

• Place coffee and coconut in large bowl, jar, or pot. Slowly pour in 8 cups cool water and stir very gently until grounds are just moistened. Cover and chill 24 hours.
• Strain coffee grounds through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring glass or bowl. Discard grinds. Line sieve with a coffee filter and add as much coffee as will fit. Strain gradually into a 1-qt. airtight container or jar, adding more coffee as space is available until all the coffee has been added. Allow grounds to sit in strainer and continue to drip 20 minutes.
• To serve, pour 1/2 cup coffee into an ice-filled glass; add ½ cup milk and 1 tsp. maple syrup and stir to combine.
• Do Ahead
• Cold brew (without milk and maple syrup) can be made 2 weeks ahead. Keep chilled.

COCONUT LEMON CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 12-cup Bundt pan; dust with flour, tapping out excess. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a mixing bowl, beat butter on medium-high until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and lemon zest; beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture in three additions, alternating with two batches coconut cream, until just combined (do not overmix).
• Transfer batter to prepared pan; tap on counter, and smooth top with an offset spatula. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, make lemon syrup: combine the lemon juice (you will need about 1/3 cup), remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
• Transfer Bundt pan to a wire rack to cool 30 minutes. Gradually brush cake with lemon syrup over the next 30 minutes as it continues to cool, letting it absorb before brushing on more. Turn out cake onto rack to cool completely. (Cake can be stored at room temperature, wrapped in plastic, up to 3 days.)
• In a well-chilled bowl, whisk heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add confectioners' sugar and whisk until medium-stiff peaks form. Just before serving, top cake with whipped cream, then toasted coconut.

SUNNY'S COLD BREW COCONUT COFFEE

Steps:

• In a large pitcher add the coffee, coconut and 3 cups water. Stir and refrigerate, stirring every few hours, at least 8 hours or up to overnight.
• Wet a paper towel or use a coffee filter placed in a fine mesh sieve over a pitcher. Pour the cold-brewed coffee into the lined sieve and allow it to drip into the pitcher beneath. Push through gently at the end to get the last bit of coffee. Add the evaporated milk to taste, then sweeten if desired and serve over ice.

COCONUT LEMON CURD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake coconut on a baking sheet until dry but not golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
• In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, both zests, and salt. Whisk in egg yolks, then both lemon juices. Add butter and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until butter has melted, mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, and bubbles are forming in center of pan, about 9 minutes.
• Pass mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly on surface of curd. Let cool 30 minutes, then refrigerate until very firm and cold, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days. Before using, whisk to loosen, then stir in coconut.

COCONUT COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl combine the cake mix, soup, water, eggs, and lemon rind. Beat until blended.
• Stir in 1 cup of coconut, pineapple, and nuts. Spread the batter evenly in a greased and floured 9x13-inch pan.
• In another bowl, cut butter into the flour until crumbly. Stir in sugar and the remaining coconut. Sprinkle over the batter.
• Bake in a 350 oven for 50 minutes or until done.
