Coconut Mandarin Parfaits Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine water and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; cool for 10 minutes. Stir in coconut and vanilla. Cool to room temperature. , In a small bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form; fold into coconut mixture. Pour into dishes. Freeze 1 hour or overnight. Just before serving, sprinkle with almonds and coconut.

Steps:

• Pour milk into medium bowl. Add dry pudding mix. Beat with wire whisk 2 min or until well blended.
• Spoon half of the pudding evenly into 4 dessert glasses, and drop a few mandarin orange slices into the pudding.
• Let pudding set for 5-10 minutes.
• Cover with few mandarin slices, touching the edge of glass.
• Top orange slices with a spoonful of sheredded coconut, rest of pudding, then the rest of coconut.
• There is no set amount for each serving, just divide the layers evenly for four servings. You can also get creative with your ingredients -- like substituting bananas for the oranges. I think two average-sized bananas would work.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 1/3 hotel pan that is 2 1/2-inches deep, about 3 quarts in size, with the room temperature butter. Set aside.
• Add the rice flour to a medium bowl and whisk in the liquid egg substitute until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
• Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set aside. Place the oat milk in a saucepan with the cinnamon sticks and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, pour over the chocolate and cover with a plate, pot lid or whatever will cover the top of the bowl. After at least 5 minutes, remove the cinnamon sticks and whisk the chocolate until smooth. Add the chocolate ganache to the rice flour mixture and carefully stir to combine. Pour into the greased pan and put into the oven. Bake until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack lined sheet tray and let cool completely at room temperature.
• Remove the top cream from the coconut cans and discard or reserve for another use. Pour the rest of the coconut can contents into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk until thickened and holds stiff peaks. Set aside and save in the refrigerator until the cake is completely cooled.
• Make the parfaits in rocks glasses. Cut out small circles of the cake to fit them - 2 to 3 inches in size. Place a piece of cake on the bottom, top with the coconut whipped cream and repeat until you end with the dollop of cream on top. Dust cocoa powder on top for garnish and serve.
