COCONUT CREAM PIE PUFFS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425˚F (220˚C).
• To make the cream filling whisk together egg yolks, half and half, and coconut milk in a medium saucepan over medium/low heat.
• Once combined, add in sugar and corn starch, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a light boil.
• Remove from heat and mix in the shredded coconut and vanilla extract. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least two hours.
• To make the puff, combine the butter, water, coconut milk, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Allow all the butter to melt and bring the mixture to a boil.
• As soon as the mixture begins to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and add in the flour.
• Using a wooden spoon, mix thoroughly to incorporate the flour. Continue stirring until the dough starts to pull away from the sides and a thin film forms on the bottom of the pan (about three minutes).
• Remove the mixture from heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Let the dough cool slightly.
• Add in the eggs, one at a time, being sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding the next.
• Once the dough comes together, transfer it to a piping bag.
• Pipe onto a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet into 1½-inch (3 cm) mounds.
• Smooth out any peaks/ridges cause by piping with a wet fingertip (this will ensure your puffs cook evenly and maintain a nice ball shape).
• Then brush the dough with egg wash and place in preheated oven.
• Bake for 15 minutes at 425˚F (220°C). Then, without opening the oven, reduce heat to 350˚ (180˚C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
• Remove puffs from oven. Using the tip of a knife, cut a small "x" into the bottom of each puff and transfer ("x" side up) to a cooling rack.
• Just before serving (or up to two hours in advance), pipe the cream filling into the cooled puffs. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
• Enjoy!

ORANGE COCONUT CREAM PUFFS

Steps:

• Choux pastry: whisk eggs in a bowl and set aside.
• Combine butter, coconut milk, water, salt, and sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until the butter has melted. Once melted, add flour and constantly stir with a wooden spoon for 3 minutes. This will evaporate some of the water. Remove from the heat and allow to cool down for a few minutes.
• Add 2/3 of the eggs and stir vigorously for about 1 minute. When incorporated, add the rest of the eggs slowly while remaining vigorously until the paste becomes smooth, glossy, and pipeable consistency (not runny).
• Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Add mounds of ~2 heaping teaspoons to a lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 10 minutes or until just starting to turn golden brown. Do not open the oven during this time. Reduce the heat to 375F and bake for another 8-10 minutes or until fully golden brown and crunchy. Remove from the oven.
• Immediately, poke a hole in the side or bottom of each puff with a large chopstick or you can split it open using a scissor. This will allow the remaining steam to escape, so the pastry doesn't become soggy. Allow cooling completely.
• Filling: beat the cream with a whisk or handheld mixer until soft peaks form.
• Sprinkle orange zest and sifted powdered sugar evenly over the surface of the cream. Beat further until fairly stiff, and sugar is evenly distributed.
• Fold in orange juice carefully with a rubber spatula, so you do not deflate the cream. Cover and set aside in the fridge until ready to use.
• Ganache: melt white chocolate and coconut cream in a double boiler. When mostly melted, stir until completely incorporated. Turn off the heat but leave the bowl sitting over hot water (double boiler).
• If coconut is not already toasted: spread evenly on a lined baking sheet and toast for 3-5 minutes at 300F or until just starting to turn golden.
• To assemble: fill a piping bag with cream and cut the tip. You can use a filling tip.
• Pipe the cream into puffs through the hole until the puff is sturdy to a gentle squeeze but not bursting. Repeat with the remaining puffs and cream.
• While holding the puff base with your fingers, dip the top of each puff into the ganache, rotating until about half of the puff is coated, then gently roll in cooled coconut flakes. Flip and rest coated puff chocolate side up on the tray. Repeat with the rest of the puff. Please keep them in the fridge to allow the ganache to set completely.

ORANGE COCONUT CREAM PUFFS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicon baking mat.
• Whisk eggs together in a measuring cup or small bowl and set aside.
• Melt butter in heavy sauce pan over med-low heat with coconut milk, water, salt, and sugar.
• Once melted, add all flour at once stirring constantly with a wooden spoon for about 3 minutes to evaporate some of the water and bring together into a mass that pulls away from the sides of the pan.
• Remove from heat. Add 2/3 of whisked eggs stirring vigorously for about 1 minute. When incorporated, assess and add more egg a little at a time stirring vigorously after each addition until paste is smooth and glossy and forms a "V" when the spoon is pulled away.
• Add mounds of ~2 heaping tsp to lined baking sheet in either of the following ways.
• Add to pastry bag and pipe with a large star tip in a spiral.
• Use two spoons to form approximate spheres.
• Wet fingers can be used to press down peaks or reshape odd lumps.
• Bake at 425° F for 10 minutes until just starting to turn golden brown. Do not open the oven during this time. Reduce heat to 375° and bake for a further 8-10 minutes until fully golden brown and crunchy.
• Remove from oven. Use the handle of a wooden spoon or a large chopstick to poke a hole in the side or bottom of each puff as soon as possible, allowing remaining steam to escape so that the pastry doesn't become soggy. Allow to cool completely.
• Beat cold cream with a whisk or handheld mixer until soft peaks form.
• Sprinkle orange zest and sifted powdered sugar evenly over surface of cream. Beat further until fairly stiff and sugar is evenly distributed.
• Fold in orange juice carefully so you do not deflate the cream. Cover and set aside in fridge until ready to assemble.
• If coconut is not already toasted: spread evenly on a lined baking sheet and toast in a 300° F oven for 3-5 minutes until just starting to turn golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool before assembly.
• Once puffs and cream are completely cool:
• Fill a piping bag or syringe fitted with a filling/injection tip with the beaten cream.
• Pipe cream into puffs through the previous perforation until puff is sturdy to a gentle squeeze, but not bursting. You may need to adjust the angle of the piping tip several times to navigate the pockets inside the choux. Repeat with remaining puffs and cream.
• Place filled puffs in freezer while heating chocolate ganache.
• Melt white chocolate and coconut cream in a double boiler or heat proof bowl sitting on a pot of simmering water. Do not allow water to touch bottom of bowl.
• When mostly melted, stir until completely incorporated. Turn off heat but leave bowl sitting over hot water.
• Remove filled puffs from freezer. Holding the base of the puff with your fingers, dip top into ganache, rotating until about half of puff is coated. Flip and rest coated puff chocolate side up on the tray.
• Repeat with another puff. Once that puff is coated. Take first puff and gently roll ganache in cooled coconut flakes. If it is very warm in you work space, you may need to coat 2 puffs in chocolate before coating first one in coconut. Repeat pattern with remaining puffs.
• Once all puffs are coated, move to fridge to allow ganache to set completely, about 15-30 minutes.
• Best if served immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for several hours or in the freezer for several days. If frozen, allow to defrost on a plate or open baking tray before serving.
