Steps:

• Make the coconut filling: In a medium heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, butter, egg white, and salt until very liquid and warm to the touch, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and, with a spoon, stir in the coconut and vanilla until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, up to overnight.
• When ready to coat the coconut, in a small heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water melt the chocolate. When almost melted, turn off the heat and let the chocolate continue to melt completely, stirring occasionally. Keep the bowl over the warm water.
• Form the balls: Line a small tray with parchment paper. Using a scant ounce of the coconut mixture, roll into a small ball and place on the parchment-lined tray. Repeat with the remaining mixture, forming 18 balls.
• Arrange 18 paper or foil minicups on the tray. Place additional coconut in a shallow pan or bowl. Gently place 1 of the balls into the warm melted chocolate and, using 2 forks, roll the ball in the chocolate until well coated. Lift (do not pierce) the coated coconut ball with one of the forks, allowing some of the chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Roll in the additional grated coconut, if desired, and carefully place in 1 of the prepared cups. Repeat with the remaining coconut balls and melted chocolate. Refrigerate until the chocolate has hardened and use as desired.

Steps:

• Make the coco bread: Sift the flour into a large bowl, then add the sugar, yeast, and salt and whisk to combine.
• In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the coconut milk and ¼ cup coconut oil.
• Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir until a shaggy ball forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes, until smooth. Shape the dough into a ball, tucking the ends underneath.
• Grease a large bowl with coconut oil, then transfer the dough ball to the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until at least doubled in size, 1½-2 hours.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with nonstick spray.
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut oil with the melted butter.
• Gently punch down the dough and knead for 10 minutes more, until smooth and elastic. Use a bench scraper or knife to divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, about 5 ounces each. Working with one portion of dough at a time, roll into a taut ball by cupping your hands over the dough and rolling against the counter, tucking the ends underneath. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• On a clean surface, use a rolling pin to roll a dough ball out to a 7-inch circle. Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the surface of the dough with the coconut oil and butter mixture, then gently fold the dough in half to make a half-circle and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough. Brush the tops of the half circles with more of the butter mixture, then let rest for 15-30 minutes before baking.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Bake the coco bread for 15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the remaining butter mixture. Let cool before serving.
• Make the Jamaican beef patty dough: Add the water, egg, and vinegar to a liquid measuring cup and whisk to combine.
• Add the flour, curry powder, sugar, and salt to the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the cubed butter and pulse 10-12 times, until broken down into pea-sized chunks.
• Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and pulse 5-7 times, until the dough comes together in a ball. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and use your hands to bring it together, then divide into 2 portions and shape into balls. Wrap each ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes while you make the filling. (The dough can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.)
• Make the filling: Add the scallions, onion, garlic, ginger, Scotch bonnet, thyme, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and allspice to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until a chunky paste forms, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetable paste and cook until softened and most of the liquid has evaporated, 3-5 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the ground beef, beef stock, bread crumbs, brown sugar, salt, and Maggi sauce and cook, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon and stirring frequently, until the mixture is thick and most of the liquid has evaporated, 15-20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the filling cool while you roll out the dough. (The filling can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.)
• Assemble the patties: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190˚C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Remove a portion of patty dough from the refrigerator. Use a bench scraper or a knife to divide the dough in half. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and return to the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll the remaining half of the dough out to a 8 x 16-inch rectangle, about ⅛ inch thick.
• Scoop 3 ¼-cup mounds of filling just above the horizontal midline of the dough, spacing evenly. Smooth the mounds if needed, then lightly brush the egg wash around the top half of each scoop of filling. Fold the bottom half of the dough up and over the filling, pressing around the mounds to seal and release any air (make sure none of the filling is trapped between the edges of the dough). Use a paring knife to cut between the filling mounds to separate into 3 patties, then trim the edges to about ½ inch. Transfer to a prepared baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator while you repeat with the remaining dough and filling to make 9 more patties. If desired, gather the dough scraps and repeat to make more patties.
• Remove the patties from the refrigerator. Use the tines of a fork to press down around the edges of each patty to seal completely. Brush the tops of the patties generously with egg wash.
• Bake the patties for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown around the edges and slightly crisp on the bottoms. Let cool for at least 10 minutes. Leftover patties can be cooled completely at room temperature, then stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
• Serve the patties with the coco bread.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and spread coconut in a single layer on parchment. Place in oven until golden and toasted, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to color evenly. Remove from oven; let cool completely.
• In a medium bowl, combine toasted coconut, almond extract, and melted chocolate. Stir gently until combined. Press about 1 tablespoon coconut mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture. Place in the refrigerator until cookies are set, about 20 minutes. Keep in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Beat cream cheese and extract until smooth.
• Gradually add confectioners sugar, beating well.
• Shape into 1 inch balls.
• Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets.
• Flatten into patties.
• The bottom of a cup works great.
• Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
• In microwave, melt chips and shortening; stir until smooth.
• Cool slightly.
• Dip patties into melted chocolate.
• Place on waxed paper.
• Store in refrigerator.
• **If you decide to use coconut extract consider sprinkling flaked coconut on top of chocolate while still soft.

Steps:

• Cream the butter and the peanut butter together. Add the sugar gradually creaming thoroughly.
• Add the egg to the creamed mixture.
• Sift flour once before measuring.
• Sift the flour, soda, baking powder and salt together and add to the creamed mixture.
• Chill dough well.
• Then form into balls the size of walnut.
• Place on a lightly floured greased baking sheet.
• Flatten with a fork dipped in flour making a criss-cross patter.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 375F to make about 4 dozen cookies.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use an ice pick or screwdriver to poke holes in the "eyes" of the coconut, and drain milk. Reserve milk for another use. Place coconut in the oven for 15 minutes. Wrap in a cloth towel, and hit with a hammer to crack open. Remove coconut from hard outer shell; discard shell. Use a vegetable peeler to remove thin brown coating from coconut. Grate coconut on the large holes of a box grater to yield 4 cups.
• Combine grated coconut, brown sugar, nutmeg, and water in a medium saucepan; cook over medium-low heat, stirring until sugar has melted and coconut is thoroughly coated, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, and add butter, stirring until it is melted. Cool to room temperature.
• Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour, and divide dough into 2 pieces. Roll each piece to 1/8 inch thick. Use a 3 1/2-inch-round cutter to cut out disks. Reroll scraps; cut additional disks.
• Make an egg wash by combining egg and cream in a small bowl. Place 1 generous tablespoon coconut filling on each disk. Apply a light coating of egg wash to edges using a pastry brush. Fold into half-moon shapes, and press edges together with the tines of a fork to seal.
• Place patties on a baking sheet lined with a Silpat (a French nonstick baking mat) or parchment paper. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
