Coconut Strawberry Ice Cream Pie Food

COCONUT-ALMOND ICE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the ice cream: Put the coconut milk, sugar, corn syrup and salt in a medium saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Pour into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, for the crust: Process the almonds and sugar in a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Gradually add the melted butter while continuing to pulse. Press the crust evenly into the bottom and about 1-inch up the sides of a 10-inch spring-form pan. Bake until set, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool completely.
• Churn the coconut mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufactures instructions until very thick, but still spreadable, about 30 minutes. Spread the ice cream evenly over the cooled crust and freeze until set, about 2 hours.
• Bring the pie to room temperature about 5 minutes before serving. Release the sides of the spring-form pan and sprinkle the top with coconut and almonds.

COCONUT-STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Crust:
• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Toast coconut on a rimmed baking sheet until golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
• Place graham crackers in a large resealable plastic bag, seal, and crush to fine crumbs with a rolling pin or heavy pot. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add toasted coconut, coconut oil, and salt and mix well. Mixture will look quite crumbly and dry at this point, but it will come together as it chills.
• Lightly coat a 9" pie dish with nonstick spray. Transfer graham cracker mixture to pie dish and press evenly and very firmly across bottom and up sides of dish with a flat-bottomed measuring cup (make sure crust extends all the way up to the lip of the dish). Chill until ready to fill (at least 20 minutes).
• Filling and assembly:
• While the crust is chilling, remove coconut ice cream from containers (just peel away container if it's paper, or use a rubber spatula to help slide ice cream out intact if container is plastic). Cut ice cream into 2" pieces and place in a medium bowl. Repeat with strawberry ice cream, placing in a separate medium bowl. Let sit until slightly softened, about 5 minutes, then stir each, separately, with a large rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the consistency of thick cake batter. Transfer bowls to freezer and chill ice cream 10 minutes.
• Remove ice cream from freezer. Scrape strawberry ice cream into bowl with coconut ice cream. Fold together a couple of times with spatula until swirled. Don't overmix; you want thick marbled ribbons. Chill in freezer 10 minutes.
• Scrape marbled ice cream into crust. Using a large spoon, create deep decorative swirls in ice cream (the strawberries will be poured into these divots later). Freeze until ice cream is very firm, at least 6 hours.
• Toss strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar in a medium bowl. Let sit at least 35 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Remove pie from freezer and lower the bottom of the pie dish into a shallow bowl of warm water; hold it there 5 minutes (this will help slices release more easily). Spoon strawberries into divots; if you run out of places to contain them, reserve extras for serving.
• Running the blade of a chef's knife under hot water and wiping dry before first cut and repeating as needed between cuts (this will give you neat sides), slice pie into wedges. Serve with any remaining strawberries alongside.
• Do Ahead
• Pie (without berries) can be made 1 week ahead. Cover with plastic wrap once hardened and keep frozen.

NO-BAKE COCONUT CREAM PIE WITH STRAWBERRIES AND PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• For the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the wafer cookies, macadamia nuts, granulated sugar and salt together until the mixture forms fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture is evenly combined.
• Press the crust into a 9-inch pie plate and transfer to the freezer until firm (at least 1 hour and up to overnight).
• For the filling: In a medium pot, heat the coconut milk and whole milk together over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, egg and egg yolk to combine. When the milk mixture comes to a simmer, pour about 1/4 of it into the sugar/egg mixture, whisking constantly.
• Return this mixture to the pot and continue to cook over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens and large bubbles pop up from the center of the pot, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the butter, vanilla and shredded coconut. Pour the mixture into the frozen pie crust, cover directly with plastic wrap and refrigerate to cool completely.
• For the toppings: In a medium pot, stir together the crushed pineapple, light brown sugar, cornstarch and salt to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Cool completely, then pour on top of the chilled pie. Sprinkle the macadamia nuts in an even layer on top of the pie. (The pie can be made up to this point 24 hours ahead of time.)
• When ready to serve, toss the strawberries and honey together in a medium bowl. Arrange in an even layer on top of the pie. Serve slices with whipped cream.

Steps:

STRAWBERRY-COCONUT ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Briefly rinse berries with cold water, then lay them out on a clean tea towel. Hull berries, except for a dozen or so pretty ones. Set those aside for garnish.
• Put 1 pound hulled berries in a blender or food processor. Reserve the rest for sauce and garnish. Add 3/4 cup sugar, coconut milk, salt and vodka. Blend until smooth. You should have about 4 cups.
• In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff. With a rubber spatula, gradually fold strawberry purée into whipped cream, 1/2 cup at a time, until well incorporated. It's OK if a few swirls remain.
• Pour into an 8-inch springform pan about 3 inches deep or into a similar-size Pyrex pie pan or ceramic dish. Freeze for 4 to 6 hours, until quite firm. (Test with a skewer or paring knife, going all the way to the bottom of the pan. It should come out clean.)
• Make the strawberry sauce: Put remaining berries in a blender with 3 tablespoons sugar. Purée and transfer to a pitcher or serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
• If using springform pan, unmold frozen cake and transfer to a cake plate. (Serve directly from glass or ceramic pan.) Sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes, and garnish with reserved berries dipped in a little of the sauce, and basil or mint leaves. Keep at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. To serve, cut into wedges and drizzle with strawberry sauce.

STRAWBERRY COCONUT ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a blender, blend all ingredients until smooth.
• Pour ice cream into ice cube trays and freeze completely(at least a couple hours). Once the cubes are frozen, place up to one tray's worth into a food processor (or a high speed blender).
• Process until creamy, serve, and eat with a small spoon (it's more fun that way). Enjoy!
