Coconut Mango Cream Pie Food

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.

THE BEST COCONUT CREAM PIE

Steps:

• For the pie crust: Pulse the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor fitted with the metal blade until combined. Add the butter and pulse until it resembles yellow cornmeal mixed with bean-size bits of butter, about 10 times. Add the egg and pulse 4 to 5 times until the dough forms a ball. (If the dough is very dry add up to a tablespoon more of cold water.)
• Transfer the dough to a work surface. Form the dough into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
• Roll the dough on a lightly-floured surface into a 12-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan and trim the edges, leaving about an extra inch hanging over the edge. Tuck the overhanging dough underneath itself to form a thick edge that is even with the rim. Flute the edge as desired. Freeze the pie shell for 30 minutes.
• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Put a piece of parchment paper or foil over the pie shell and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake on a baking sheet on the center rack until the dough is set, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and lift the sides of the parchment to remove the beans. Continue baking until the pie shell is lightly golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
• For the filling: Whisk together the egg yolks, 1/4 cup of the milk and the cornstarch in a medium bowl until smooth and well combined. Stir together the remaining 3/4 cup milk, the half-and-half, sugar and kosher salt in a large saucepan. Heat over medium heat until barely simmering. Temper the egg yolks by slowly pouring the hot milk and cream into the egg yolks while continuing to whisk. Pour the custard back into the pan and place over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the custard is very thick and smooth, about 5 minutes; it will be the consistency of a pudding. (If the filling has scrambled a bit, or doesn't look smooth, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a separate bowl before adding the coconut.) Stir in the butter until melted, then stir in the vanilla and shredded coconut. Spread the filling into the cooled pie crust. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pie and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
• For the meringue: Add the egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar and kosher salt to the bowl of a stand mixture fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk to combine. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Cook, whisking constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture feels very hot to the touch. Transfer the bowl to the mixer and add the vanilla. Whisk on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Remove the plastic wrap from the pie and gently mound the meringue on top of the filling. Use an offset spatula to completely cover the filling and meet the crust all around the edges. (This will completely seal in the filling and help prevent weeping.) Use the offset spatula to form swirls and peaks in the meringue. Toast the meringue using a kitchen torch or broil in the oven until golden brown, keeping an eye on the meringue if broiling. Sprinkle all over with toasted coconut and serve.

KONA MANGO CREAM PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the flour into a bowl. Add the nuts and mix together. Cut the butter into cubes and add it to the bowl. Using your hands, incorporate the butter into the flour and nuts. Then, press it into a 9- by 13-inch pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Allow the crust to cool to room temperature before adding the cream cheese filling.
• For the filling: Add the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Start mixing on low, and then turn to high speed and mix until it forms stiff peaks. Set aside in a bowl.
• Switch to the paddle attachment on your stand mixer. Add the cream cheese and beat until smooth, starting on low speed and increasing to high. Then, add the whipped cream to the bowl with the cream cheese and stir to incorporate. Spread it over the cooled crust and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• For the topping: Sprinkle the gelatin into a bowl with 1 cup cold water. Whisk to dissolve the gelatin. Then add the boiling water, sugar and salt. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the lemon juice and stir to combine. Then add the mangoes and chill for a few minutes until the gelatin begins to set. Pour the mango topping over the cream cheese and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.

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.

MANGO TART WITH COCONUT CRUST

Steps:

• Toast coconut for crust:
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Spread coconut in an even layer in a pie plate and toast in middle of oven, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. (Leave oven on for baking crust.) Cool coconut to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
• Make crust:
• Pulse together flour, coconut, butter, confectioners sugar, and salt in a food processor until dough just begins to form a ball. Press dough onto bottom and up side of tart pan with floured fingers, then freeze until firm, about 10 minutes. Bake in pan on a baking sheet in middle of oven until golden, about 25 minutes, then cool completely in pan on a rack.
• Prepare filling while crust bakes:
• Purée chopped mango (2 1/2 cups) with sugar, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a food processor until smooth, about 1 minute. Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup purée in a heatproof bowl and let stand to soften 1 minute. Set bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir until gelatin is dissolved. Remove bowl from heat and stir in remaining purée.
• Beat cream in a large bowl with an electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks, then fold in purée. Set bowl with filling in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and chill, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Assemble tart:
• Remove side of tart pan and spoon filling into crust, smoothing top. Chill, loosely covered, until filling is set, at least 8 hours. Before serving, let stand at room temperature at least 15 minutes but no longer than 30, then scatter diced mango over top of tart, leaving a 2-inch border around edge.

MANGO-COCONUT CREAM TART

Steps:

• Make the pate brisee: Pulse flour, salt, and granulated sugar in a food processor until combined. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds. Drizzle 1/4 cup ice water evenly over mixture. Pulse until mixture holds together when pressed between 2 fingers (dough should not be wet or sticky). If dough is too dry, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse. Shape dough into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day. Let stand at room temperature 5 minutes before rolling.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out pate brisee into a 15-inch round (1/8 inch thick) on a lightly floured surface. Fit dough into a 12 1/2-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing dough well into pan's edge. Trim edge flush with top rim of pan. Prick bottom all over with a fork. Freeze until hard, about 20 minutes. Line with parchment, pressing parchment deep into corners of pan so it is flush with dough and leaving a 3-inch overhang. Fold overhang over dough edge so it is not exposed. Fill with pie weights or dried beans, and bake until edge of shell begins to turn golden, about 30 minutes, rotating halfway through. Remove weights and parchment. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees. Tent edge with foil, and bake until golden brown, 25 to 27 minutes more. Let cool slightly, about 20 minutes.
• Make the filling: Mix together granulated and brown sugars, salt, and cornmeal. Whisk in eggs, yolk, and vanilla; then butter and coconut. Spread filling into tart shell. Bake until just set and lightly golden, 22 to 24 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Make the topping: Peel mangoes, and cut in half, removing pits. Brush with lemon juice. Very thinly slice each half crosswise. Beat together cream and confectioners' sugar until medium peaks form. Spread one-third of cream mixture over top of filling. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a large open star tip (such as Ateco #829) with remaining cream mixture, and pipe randomly spaced swirls of cream. Twist 3 to 5 mango slices at a time into spirals, and nestle between cream swirls. Heat corn syrup and water until combined. Brush mango spirals with syrup. Refrigerate tart until chilled, about 20 minutes and up to 4 hours.
