Chocolate Coconut Chunks Recipes

Steps:

• Beat 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar and 1 stick butter until fluffy, then beat in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Whisk 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt; stir into the butter mixture. Add 1 cup shredded coconut, 1/2 cup chopped cashews and 1 cup chocolate chunks to the finished batter. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls and bake 20 to 25 minutes at 350 degrees.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Beat together butter and sugars in a bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until fluffy. Add eggs and beat until just blended, then beat in vanilla, baking soda, and salt. Add flour and mix at low speed until just blended. Stir in oats, coconut, chocolate, and almonds.
• Arrange 1/4-cup mounds of cookie dough about 3 inches apart on 2 lightly buttered large baking sheets (about 8 cookies per sheet), then gently pat down each mound to about 1/2 inch thick. Bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position and rotating pans halfway through baking, until golden, 15 to 18 minutes total.
• Cool cookies on sheets 1 minute, then transfer with a spatula to racks to cool completely. Make more cookies in same manner.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Rub an 8"x8" baking dish with coconut oil and set aside.
• Add the 1/2 cup coconut oil and brown sugar to a large bowl. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until well-combined and smooth. Add the egg and vanilla and stir until combined. Sift in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix with wooden spoon until nearly incorporated - do not overmix. The batter will be very thick. Mix in the 1 cup chocolate chunks.
• Transfer batter to the baking dish and using the wooden spoon or your fingers, gently but firmly press the batter into the pan, smoothing the top as much as possible as you go.
• Bake until golden brown and set in the middle, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for about 30 minutes. Cut into squares and use a cookie spatula to transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Blondies keep well in a room-temperature airtight container for 2-3 days.

Steps:

• Cake:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter 9-inch-diameter cake pan with 2-inch-high sides; dust pan with flour, shaking out excess. Sift 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, and sea salt into medium bowl. Stir in unsweetened shredded coconut and set aside. Using electric mixer, beat sugar, butter, and orange peel in large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture in 3 additions alternately with coconut milk in 2 additions, beating just until blended after each addition. Fold in half of bittersweet chocolate pieces. Spread batter evenly in prepared cake pan. Sprinkle remaining chocolate pieces over batter, then sprinkle with sweetened flaked coconut.
• Bake cake until golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, tenting with sheet of foil if coconut atop cake is browning too quickly, 60 to 70 minutes. Transfer cake to rack and cool in pan 45 minutes.
• Coconut Drizzle
• Whisk powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk, and vanilla in small bowl to blend well, adding more coconut milk by 1/2 teaspoonfuls until mixture is thin enough to drizzle over cake.
• Carefully run small knife around sides of cake to loosen. Invert cake onto platter, then carefully invert again onto another platter, coconut side up. Using small spoon, drizzle powdered sugar mixture decoratively over cake. Cool cake completely on platter. DO AHEAD Cake can be made up to 1 day ahead. Cover cake and let stand at room temperature.
• Cut cake into wedges and serve with vanilla ice cream.
• Available at specialty foods stores and natural foods stores.
• ** Sold at many supermarkets and at Indian, Southeast Asian, and Latin markets. If unavailable, use 1 cup half and half mixed with 1/2 teaspoon imitation coconut extract.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Arrange coconut in a single layer on a small cooking sheet Bake at 350 degrees for 7 minutes or until lightly toasted, stirring once. Set aside to cool.
• Weigh or lightly spoon the flour into a measuring cup, level with a knife. Combine baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; stir with a whisk until well blended.Place the sugar and butter in a large bowl, beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended. Beat in vanilla and egg. Add the flour mixture at low speed just until combined. Stir in the toasted coconut and chocolate.
• Drop by level tablespoons 2 inches apart onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until the bottom of cookies just begin to turn brown. Remove from pan and cool completely on wire racks.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut a piece of foil 9- by 23-inches. Butter the corners and sides of a 9- by 9-inch baking pan. Line the pan with the foil, leaving an overhang on two sides. Fold the overhanging foil to make them doubly thick. (This will make it easier to lift the bar out of the pan.)
• For the topping: Whisk the coconut cream with the egg white and vanilla in a medium bowl. Toss the shredded coconut with the flour in another medium bowl. Stir the shredded coconut mixture into the coconut cream mixture. Set aside.
• For the base: Whisk the flour with the cocoa powder and salt in a small bowl. Put the cookie dough on a clean work surface and dump the flour mixture on top. Knead the flour mixture and dough together until it is dark and homogenous. Sprinkle a little extra flour on the work surface, and use a rolling pin to gently press and roll the dough into a 7- or 8-inch square; don't worry if it cracks a bit. Put the dough in the prepared pan, using your fingers to press it evenly into the sides and corners.
• Scatter the coconut topping evenly over the base, making sure you cover the edges well and being sure not to press down so that the coconut mixture lies on top of the dough. Scatter the chocolate on top and press it lightly into the coconut. Bake until the coconut is a toasted golden brown, the topping seems dry and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool completely on a rack before gently lifting out of the pan by the overhanging foil, about 20 minutes. Slice into 16 square bars.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix flour and brown sugar in medium bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press crumb mixture firmly onto bottom of foil-lined 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake 15 minutes.
• Sprinkle pecans and coconut over crust; cover with condensed milk. Bake an additional 25 minutes or until coconut is lightly browned. Cool in pan on wire rack.
• Microwave caramels and milk in medium microwavable bowl on HIGH 2 minutes or until caramels are completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after each minute. Drizzle over dessert; sprinkle with chocolate chunks. Cool completely. Cut into 36 bars to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly splash a 15-by-10-inch rimmed baking sheet evenly with water, then line with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, stir together cookie crumbs, sugar, and butter until combined. Evenly press onto bottom and up sides of prepared baking sheet. Bake, rotating halfway through, until firm, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; cool, about 20 minutes.
• Sprinkle cooled crust evenly with pecans and chocolate. Pour condensed milk over the top, spreading to cover completely (do not let it drip over the edges). Sprinkle with coconut.
• Bake until coconut is toasted, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool completely. Trim edges, if desired, and cut into equal-size bars.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F Lightly grease two baking sheets, or line with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, coconut milk powder and sugars. Stir the coconut milk powder through a strainer as you add it to the mixing bowl, to take out any lumps.
• Beat in the egg, corn syrup, and coconut flavor. Scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl, and beat for another 30 seconds to make sure everything is evenly combined.
• Whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder; beat into the butter mixture until evenly combined.
