Orange Coconut Cremes Recipes

ORANGE COCONUT CREAMS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine milk and butter. Cook and stir over low heat until the butter is melted. Place the confectioners' sugar in a large bowl. Add milk mixture; beat on medium speed until smooth. Add the coconut and orange extract, mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and put mixture in fridge for an hour.
• Once chilled, roll into small balls (about one inch) and place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Put back in fridge for 30 minutes.
• In a microwave, melt the chips and chocolate in a small bowl for one minute on 100% power. Stir and continue cooking in 30 second increments at 50% power, until smooth.
• Using a fork, dip the chilled balls one-by-one into the chocolate. Tap the handle of the fork on the side of the bowl to let the excess drip off, scrape the bottom of the fork on the edge of the bowl and gently place the dipped balls on parchment-lined baking sheets using a butter knife or toothpick to gently slide the ball off the fork if needed. Put in fridge for about 30 minutes to set. Store in an air tight container in a cool, dry place. (I like to keep them in my cold storage room).

ORANGE COCONUT CREMES

Steps:

• When using the coconut cream, use the thick layer of cream that settles at the top of the tin (don't shake tin or this will make the cream too runny). Place this thick coconut cream in the freezer to chill for a few minutes.
• Combine orange juice, coconut flour, desiccated coconut and half of the orange rind and mix well to form the base.
• Press base mixture into a silicone muffin tray hole (or in regular muffin tray lined with a strip of baking paper for easy removal). Use one hole per serve.
• Place into the fridge.
• Remove coconut cream from the freezer. Whisk in vanilla, coconut sugar and remaining orange rind until sugar has dissolved. If mixture isn't thick enough then return to the freezer for a little longer.
• Gently remove base from mould and spoon or pipe frosting on top. Garnish with any extra zest you have and enjoy immediately.
