Chocolate Coconut Filo Triangles With Vanilla Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Break up 4 ounces of chocolate into 1/2-ounce pieces. Set aside.
• In a food processor, finely grind the remaining chocolate with the sugar.
• Lay 8 sheets of filo out on top of each other.
• Place one sheet lengthwise on the work surface. Keep the remaining sheets covered with a damp towel.
• Brush the sheet with some melted butter. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the sugar mixture. Place a second sheet over the sugared sheet. Butter the second sheet and sprinkle with the sugar mixture. Add 2 more sheets, buttering and sprinkling between each.Cut the filo horizontally into 4 even strips. Starting at the left side of one of the strips, place a 1/2-ounce piece of chocolate 2 inches from the end. Fold the filo that is to the left of the piece of chocolate over the chocolate toward the back side of the strip, making a 3-inch triangle. The left end of the filo should be even with the back edge. Fold the piece of chocolate to the right, over itself, retaining the triangular shape. Fold the chocolate piece toward the front edge of the strip. Continue wrapping the chocolate, alternating the direction with each fold, until you get to the end. (It is like folding a flag.) Wrap the other strips in the same manner.
• With the remaining sheets, make 4 more chocolate-filled triangles.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the triangles on the baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Combine sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, milk, egg yolks, and cornstarch in a saucepan over low heat; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened into a custard, about 10 minutes.
• Divide custard between 2 bowls. Mix 2 1/2 cups shredded coconut into the first bowl of custard. Fold cocoa powder into the second bowl of custard. Let custard mixtures cool, about 10 minutes.
• Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
• Pour 1/4 cup milk into a shallow bowl. Dip ladyfingers briefly in milk and arrange in the bottom of a glass trifle bowl. Spoon coconut custard on top. Layer remaining ladyfingers and chocolate custard on top. Smooth whipped cream over the top.
• Place 1 1/4 cup shredded coconut in a small skillet over low heat. Cook and stir until toasted and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool.
• Sprinkle toasted coconut and chocolate over whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate until flavors meld, about 4 hours.

Steps:

• In a microwave, melt butter and chocolate; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. Stir in wafer crumbs and pecans. Transfer to a greased, foil-lined 8-in. square pan. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm., Using foil, lift chocolate out of pan. Discard foil; cut into 32 triangles. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, beat together butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and 2 cups flour until mixture comes together to form a dough. Press evenly into a rimmed 11-by-17- inch baking sheet. Bake until just golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, pulse coconut in a food processor several times, until coarsely chopped, then transfer a large bowl. Stir in remaining 2 cups brown sugar and 1/4 cup flour along with baking powder, eggs, vanilla, and nuts. Spread mixture evenly over cooled crust.
• Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until crust is golden brown and filling is set, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into triangles with a serrated knife. Store up to 2 days in an airtight container at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Thaw phyllo sheets; melt butter. In a bowl, combine bananas, sugar, and chocolate.
• Lay 1 phyllo sheet on a clean work surface. Brush with butter; sprinkle with sugar. Top with another sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo, brushing each sheet with melted butter as you stack them.
• Form 4 triangles: Cut dough into strips with a sharp knife; place filling at one end, leaving one corner empty. Fold corner of dough over filling. Continue folding, alternating corners, making sure no filling spills out the sides. When you reach the end, trim excess dough from triangle with knife. Brush surface with butter.
• Bake on a baking sheet until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly; serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In a food processor add the chocolate, coconut, almonds and butter.
• Process until smooth.
• Place one sheet of dough on the counter and brush with oil.
• Place another sheet on top and cut lengthwise into 4 long equal strips.
• Spoon 1 tbsp of the chocolate nut mixture onto the end of one strip and fold flag style into a triangular shape.
• Place on a baking sheet and repeat using the remainder of the phyllo sheets and chocolate mixture.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
• Cool slightly and serve with ice cream or cool completely.

Steps:

• In a food processor, chop chocolate fine; add coconut, almonds and ¼ cup of butter.
• Blend mixture until smooth.
• Melt remaining butter.
• Working with 1 strip of filo at a time, arrange the strip on a work surface with short side facing you (cover the remaining filo with a damp towel to keep from drying out).
• Brush strip lightly with some of the melted butter.
• Fold down top right hand corner of filo to form a triangle; put 1 tablespoon of filling in center and continue folding in same way, to enclose filling completely (the folding process is like you are folding the flag to make a triangular shape).
• Brush with some of remaining butter and repeat 11 more times, making 12 filo triangles.
• (can be prepared up to 2 weeks in advance and kept wrapped and frozen) Preheat oven to 400F and bake triangles for 8-12 minutes (the longer time if you're baking them frozen), or until golden.
• Serve hot with ice cream.
