Best Coconut Creams With Mango Lime Recipes

NO-CHURN MANGO-COCONUT-LIME ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk the mango pulp, condensed milk, lime zest and juice, confectioners' sugar and coconut extract in a large bowl until smooth; set aside.
• Scoop the solids off the top of the can of coconut cream into a separate large bowl. (Discard the liquid; if any liquid has risen to the top, pour it off before scooping out the solids.) Break the solid coconut cream into small chunks, then add the heavy cream and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. (There may be a few small chunks of coconut cream.)
• Fold about half of the whipped cream into the mango mixture with a rubber spatula until combined, then fold in the remaining whipped cream until no white streaks remain.
• Spoon the mixture into a freezer-safe 9-by-5-inch loaf pan or 2-quart baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm and scoopable, at least 6 hours or overnight. Let soften about 20 minutes at room temperature before scooping.

COCONUT-MANGO SLAW

Steps:

• Whisk 3/4 cup canned coconut milk with the juice of 3 limes. Add one 14-ounce bag coleslaw mix, 1 mango (cut into matchsticks) and 1 cup chopped roasted salted peanuts; toss and season with salt and pepper.

COCONUT-LIME CHEESECAKE WITH MANGO COULIS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.
• Combine the coconut, gingersnap cookies, and melted butter in a bowl; mix until evenly moistened. Press the cookie mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared pan.
• Bake the crust in the preheated oven until browned and set, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Reduce oven heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Beat the softened cream cheese in mixer bowl until smooth. With beater set to medium-low, slowly pour the condensed milk into the bowl, mixing only until just blended, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the eggs, individually, allowing the first to blend into the mixture before adding the second; again, scrape the sides of the bowl as necessary.
• Pour about half of the cream cheese batter into a separate bowl. Stir the lime juice and lime zest into the portion in the new bowl; pour the batter over the crust in the springform pan, smoothing into an even layer.
• Stir the coconut extract through the remaining cream cheese batter; pour over the lime-flavored batter in the springfom pan, smoothing into an even layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top of the cheesecake springs back when gently pressed, about 45 minutes. Turn oven heat off, but leave cheesecake inside with oven door slightly ajar until the oven cools completely. Refrigerate until completely chilled.
• Prepare mango coulis by pureeing the mango with sugar until smooth. If too thick, add a teaspoon of water at a time, using just enough to make pourable. Drizzle over cheesecake when plated.

COCONUT CREAMS WITH MANGO & LIME

Steps:

• Pour the coconut cream and double cream into a heavy-based saucepan with the sugar, broad strips of lime zest and crushed coconut, then set over a low heat, stirring a little to help the sugar dissolve. Turn the heat off just before it boils and leave to infuse for 1 hr (longer is fine). Strain and throw away the solids.
• Soak the gelatine in cold water for 10 mins to soften. Reheat the coconut mixture until hand-warm (if it's too hot, the panna cotta will not set properly). Stir in the lime juice.
• Lift the gelatine from the water and squeeze out the excess liquid. Stir into the coconut mixture. Divide between four metal moulds, each with a capacity of 125ml, or up to six teacups or small bowls if you're not turning out the panna cotta. Leave to cool, then put in a small roasting tin (just to transport them). Cover and chill in the fridge for about 4-6 hrs.
• Cut off the two 'cheeks' of the mango. (You could use the rest of the flesh for a smoothie). Place them, cut-side down, on a chopping board, then cut on an angle into thin slices. Transfer to a bowl and pour the lime juice over them.
• If you want to turn out the panna cotta, dip the moulds in to a bowl of boiling water for 5 seconds and loosen the edges with a knife. For each one, put a plate over the mould, turn the mould over while holding the plate in place, and shake. The panna cotta should slip out. Garnish with fine strips of lime zest, if you like. Serve alongside the lime-marinated mango.

LYCHEE COCONUT SORBET WITH MANGO AND LIME

Steps:

• Drain lychees, reserving syrup, then purée lychees, cream of coconut, 1/4 cup syrup, and 2 1/2 tablespoons lime juice in a blender until smooth. Freeze in ice cream maker.
• While sorbet is churning, toss together mango, zest, and remaining lime juice to taste (1/2 to 1 tablespoon).
• Serve scoops of sorbet over mango slices.

MANGO, LIME & COCONUT SUNDAES

Steps:

• Put half the mango slices in a bowl with half the lime juice and half the zest, cover and chill until serving. Put the rest of the mango in the freezer for 3-4 hrs or until frozen solid.
• Put the frozen mango in a blender with the rest of the lime juice and zest (saving a few pinches for decoration), blend until smooth, then tip into a container and leave in the freezer until needed.
• Just before serving, put the chilled mango pieces in the bottom of 6 sundae glasses and take the coconut ice cream and frozen mango sorbet out of the freezer to defrost just enough to scoop. Divide the mango sorbet and the coconut ice cream between the glasses, and decorate with mint leaves, lime slices and any remaining lime zest. Serve immediately.
