FROZEN COCONUT CREAM MANGO CAKES (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350'F.
• Lightly coat the 8 ring molds with vegan spray oil. The molds should measure 2 inches high by 2 1/4 inches in diameter.
• Place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• If using an 8" spring form pan, coat the sides and bottom with spray oil.
• FOR THE CRUST.
• Pulse the macadamia nuts and 3 tablespoons sugar together in the food processor until finely ground.
• In a separate bowl, combine the nuts, flour and vegan margarine with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Spoon a generous tablespoons into each of the 8 molds and press into the bottom.
• At this point, if you are using the spring form pan, press all of the crust into the bottom. No need for the parchment or rimmed baking pan. Just pop the spring form pan into the oven as is.
• Bake until golden brown, around 12 minutes. Let cool.
• FOR THE MOUSSE.
• Pour the orange juice into a small saucepan. Sprinkle with the gelatin and let sit for 5 minutes until soft. Heat on low stirring to dissolve. Remove from heat.
• Cut one quarter of one mango into 1/8 inch slices for garnish if you like. This step is up to you.
• I'm using the spring form pan, so I did this to decorate the top. You could also keep the mango slices to serve along side the little molds.
• Course chop the remaining mangoes. In a blender puree the mango and one cup of sugar plus the lemon juice until smooth.
• With the blender running slowly add the gelatin mixture and combine well.
• Transfer to a large bowl.
• If you are using the coconut whipped cream you can re-whip it and add the icing sugar.
• If making this with dairy whipped cream, whip the cream and add the icing sugar to form soft peaks.
• Add 1/3 of the whipped cream into the mango mixture and gently fold it together.
• If you are using the small molds divide the mango whipped cream mixture evenly among the molds. Fill about 3/4 full. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, anywhere from 4 hours to a week.
• If you are using the spring form pan follow the instructions as above and add the mango coconut mixture on top of the macadamia crust. Spread it evenly.
• Decorate the dessert with the mango slices, or serve them along side.
• When you are ready to serve this dessert, let it stand at room temperature for 4-6 minutes before removing from the molds, or spring form pan.
• Let sit 8-10 minutes before slicing if you are using the spring form pan.
• Store what's left in the fridge and cover well. I put my cake back in to the spring form pan to keep its shape.
• Bon Appetit.

FROZEN COCONUT AND ROASTED PINEAPPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Trim a sheet of acetate to 34-by-3-inches and line the walls of a 10-inch springform pan; set aside.
• Place 2 ounces white chocolate in the top of a double boiler or heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water; heat just until chocolate melts. Stir in tahini, then stir in cereal, 1/4 cup desiccated coconut, 1/3 lemon zest and salt.
• Place cake, brushed-side down, on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Spread cereal-mixture over surface of cake in an even layer. Freeze until set, about 1 hour.
• Carefully invert cake into the prepared springform pan so crunch-side is down. Using an offset spatula, spread cake with 1 cup roasted pineapple puree in an even layer; reserve remaining puree for topping, if desired. Freeze until set, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, place gelatin in a small amount of cold water until softened, about 1 minute. Drain and squeeze to remove excess water from gelatin; set aside.
• In a small saucepan, bring coconut milk, remaining 1/2 cup desiccated coconut and lemon zest to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat. Add reserved gelatin, and whisk until dissolved. Strain mixture through a fine sieve set over a bowl with remaining 3 1/4 ounces white chocolate; let stand until chocolate begins to melt. Using a rubber spatula, gently stir from the center of the bowl outward to avoid forming air bubbles. Let cool at room temperature, stirring occasionally, to prevent mixture from setting up (mixture should be thick, but not clumpy).
• Meanwhile, whisk cream until soft peaks form. Place in refrigerator to chill.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk egg whites on medium speed until frothy. Gradually add sugar, and increase speed to high, beating until soft peaks form. Reduce speed to low and gradually add about 1/3 of gelatin mixture, whisking until just combined.
• Gently fold half of egg-white mixture into remaining gelatin mixture. Fold half of the chilled whipped cream into the gelatin mixture. Fold in remaining egg-white mixture, then fold in remaining whipped cream until mousse is thoroughly combined.
• Pour mousse over the cake. Freeze until set, at least 8 hours or up to overnight.
• Once mousse sets, remove ring from springform pan and carefully peel off acetate. If desired, top with coconut flakes, reserved chopped roasted pineapple, and reserved pineapple puree. Return to freezer. Transfer to refrigerator two hours before serving.
