Time 1h15m

Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

50g unsalted butter
85g desiccated coconut
85g icing sugar , sifted
25g plain flour
2medium egg whites

Steps:

  • Melt the butter, then leave until cool, but still runny. Preheat the oven to fan 160C/ conventional 180C/gas 4 and line a baking sheet with non-stick silicone.
  • Whizz the coconut in a food processor until finely ground, but not powdery. Whizz in the icing sugar and flour, then the egg whites followed by the cooled butter - you should have a smooth, slightly runny paste. Scoop this out into a bowl.
  • Put a teaspoon of the mixture on the silicone and spread with the back of a dessertspoon into a neat thin 7cm round. Alternatively, place a round stencil on the silicone and scrape the mixture flat in the hole with a palette knife. Shape 3-4 at a time, leaving space between.
  • Bake in batches for 7 minutes each, until pale golden around the edges. Remove and scrape off on to a wire rack to cool. To shape, press each one over a rolling pin as it cools.

Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
2/3 cup sugar
5 large egg yolks
1/2 cup chilled heavy cream
1/4 cup well-stirred canned unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup well-stirred canned coconut milk
3 large egg yolks
dark rum, or to taste
a 10-ounce package frozen raspberries in syrup, thawed
Ten 3-inchalmond tuiles
Ten 2 1/2-inchalmond tuiles

Steps:

  • In a small heavy saucepan stir together juice and sugar and simmer until reduced to about 3/4 cup. In a bowl lightly beat yolks and in a slow stream add half of hot juice mixture, whisking. Add egg mixture to remaining juice mixture and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until custard is thickened and a thermometer registers 160°F.
  • Transfer custard to a clean bowl and with an electic mixer beat until cool and very thick. In another bowl with electric mixer beat cream until it just holds stiff peaks. Gently fold in coconut milk and fold cream mixture into custard gently but thoroughly. Spoon mousse into ten 1/3-cup cone-shaped paper cups or other very small paper cups. (If using cone-shaped paper cups, set in small winglass or juice glass to keep upright.) Freeze mousses, covered, at least 4 hours, or until firm, and up to 1 day.
  • In a saucepan bring whole milk, coconut milk, and sugar to a boil, stirring until suagr is dissolved. In a bowl lightly beat yolks and in a slow stream add half of hot mixture, whisking. Add egg mixture to remaining milk mixture, stirring and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until sauce is thickened and a thermometer registers 160°F. Chill sauce, its surface covered with a buttered round of wax paper, at least 3 hours, or until cold, and up to 1 day. Stir rum into sauce.
  • In a blender purée raspberries with syrup and pour through a fine sieve into a bowl.
  • Gently tear paper cups from mousses and invert onto 10 plates. Cut each mousse horizontally into thirds. Carefully seperating sections with a spatula, slip a 3-inch tuile between bottom and middle sections and a 2 1/2-inch thick tuile between top and middle sections of each mousse.
  • Spoon coconut sauce around mousse and dot sauce with rasberry coulis. Draw a knife decoratively through sauce and coulis and garnish desserts with pineapple leaves.

Yield Makes about 14 tuiles

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg white at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • In a bowl cream together the butter and the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, add the egg white and the vanilla, and beat the mixture until it is just combined. Sift the flour over the mixture, fold it in, and fold in the coconut. Working in batches drop the batter by rounded teaspoons 4 inches apart into well-buttered baking sheets and pat it into 3-inch rounds with the back of a fork dipped in water. Bake the cookies in batches in the middle of a preheated 425°F. oven for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they are golden around the edges. Working quickly loosen the cookies carefully with a metal spatula, transfer them to a rolling pin, pressing gently to curl them around the pin, and let them cool completely on the pin. (If the cookies become too firm to remove from the baking sheet, return them to the oven for a few seconds to soften.) The tuiles may be made 1 day in advance and kept in an airtight container.
