Chocolate Coconut Shake With Latke Stack Recipes

GIANT LATKE SKILLET

Steps:

• For the latke: Drape a clean dish towel (or cheesecloth) over a colander. Grate the potatoes and onion in food processor or by hand with a box grater and place inside the towel-lined colander. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, toss around and let drain in the sink for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Squeeze as much moisture as possible out of the potato-onion mixture. Combine with 1/2 teaspoon salt, the lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, matzo meal and 2 to 3 turns of black pepper in a medium bowl and mix to form a pasty mixture. Fold the dill into the mix. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet on medium heat and allow to heat for 5 minutes. Also, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Add 4 tablespoons of the oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Flick a little piece of the potato-onion mixture into the oil; if it's hot enough, it will sizzle lightly.
• Roll the potato-onion mixture into a ball and place it in the middle of the pan. Gently press with spatula to flatten the mixture so it evenly covers the bottom of the pan. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes. Transfer to oven and bake for 10 minutes. By this time, the latke should be firm enough to flip without falling apart. Transfer the pan to the stove. Place a plate over the pan and carefully invert to flip the latke. Slide it back into the pan and bake for another 10 minutes.
• For the topping: To assemble, place the latke on a plate. Spread some creme fraiche over the latke, then lay the salmon slices on top in an even layer. Top with the eggs, a dash of hot sauce, a few more dollops of the creme fraiche, the dill and chopped scallions, a few turns of black pepper and a pinch of salt. Slice into wedges to serve.

CHOCOLATE COCONUT MILKSHAKE

Steps:

• Place all in Vitalmix blender and blend until smooth.

COCONUT MANGO POPS

Steps:

• Put the ancho and coconut in an electric spice grinder and pulse until ground. (You don't want it too fine; a tiny bit coarse is great.) Combine this mixture with the lime zest and sugar in a bowl and toss to combine.
• Cut an end from 1 mango so it sits straight. Use a sharp knife to cut down and peel off the skin. Cut the flesh from the mango in planks, getting as close to the pit as you can. Cut the planks into wide pieces (you'll get 5 to 6 pieces out of 1 mango). Repeat with the remaining mango to get 10 to 12 pieces total.
• Stick a lollipop stick in each piece of mango and sprinkle them all over with the coconut-chile mixture. Sprinkle lightly with the flaky salt and serve.

BANANA AND COCONUT SHAKE

Steps:

• Add the ice and the frozen bananas to a blender. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pour into 4 tall glasses and serve.
