Coconutbiscuitscongolais Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast coconut on a rimmed baking sheet in oven, stirring often, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Stir together flour, granulated sugar, coconut, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a stiff dough (about 5 tablespoons water total). Form the dough into a rectangle. Wrap dough in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out dough to 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured piece of parchment paper. Transfer dough on parchment to a baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Cut dough into 40 small rectangles (about 1 1/4-by-2 1/2 inches each) using a sharp knife. Transfer biscuits to parchment-lined baking sheets using a thin spatula. Lightly brush tops with water. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until biscuits just turn golden brown, about 11 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F; butter a baking sheet.
• In a saucepan, on medium heat, combine the egg whites, sugar and vanilla sugar then and whisk vigourously until they get hot and frothy. Remove from heat and keep whisking until temperature cools down a bit.
• Add the shredded coconut all at once and mix together with a wooden spoon; place balls of coconut mixture on the baking sheet (around 2.5 in diameter).
• Bake in oven for 15 minutes until they get golden; the Congolais must be crunchy outside and soft inside.
• Serve the biscuits warm or cold, simply by themselves or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or chocolate sauce.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl whisk together the almond milk, coconut yogurt, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Stir in the chia seeds. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or until thickened to the consistency of pudding. Serve topped with the chocolate almonds and raspberries.

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Spread 1 cup coconut flakes on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 3 minutes. Let cool completely. Transfer to a food processor; add the granulated sugar and pulse until finely ground. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk the coconut-sugar mixture, the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Melt the coconut oil in the microwave; add to the flour mixture along with the vanilla and 1/3 cup water and mix with a wooden spoon until a stiff dough forms. Stir in the macadamia nuts and the remaining 1/2 cup coconut flakes; gently knead until the dough comes together.
• Divide the dough in half and shape into two 9-by-2-inch logs; place 1 log on each baking sheet. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the logs are firm and golden, about 25 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
• Let the logs cool 10 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board; slice diagonally with a serrated knife into 3/4-inch-thick pieces. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheets. Bake, flipping halfway through, until just golden and the centers still have a little give, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets. (The biscotti will crisp as they cool.)
• Whisk the confectioners' sugar, coconut cream and coconut extract until smooth. Dip the biscotti in the glaze; sprinkle with coarse sugar.

Steps:

• Whisk 2/3 cup each all-purpose and whole-wheat flour, 1/4 cup coconut flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt. Work in 6 tablespoons diced cold butter. Stir in 3/4 cup buttermilk and knead a few times. Pat until 1/2 inch thick on a floured surface, fold into thirds and pat into a 1-inch-thick rectangle; cut into 8 squares. Brush with buttermilk; sprinkle with salt and hemp hearts. Bake on a baking sheet at 425˚ F, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven at 400°F; prepare a baking sheet.
• Pour the egg whites, sugar and vanilla sugar into a saucepan over medium heat, then start whisking vigourously until they get hot and frothy.
• Take away from flame and keep whisking until temperature cools down a bit.
• Pour the shredded coconut in all at once and mix together with a wooden spoon.
• Place balls of coconut mixture on the baking sheet (about 2.5 inches in diameter).
• Bake for 15 minutes until they get golden; the Congolais must be crunchy outside and soft inside.
• Serve the biscuits warm or cold, simply by themselves or with a ball of vanilla ice-cream.

Steps:

• Sift the dry ingredients. Add butter and gently blend. Add coconut milk and coconut, removing 3 tablespoons for topping and add papaya. Stir together adding additional milk if necessary. Knead lightly for 30 seconds and roll to 3/4-inch. With a cutter, punch out 2-inch rounds.
• Place on a lightly buttered sheet and brush top of biscuits with butter and top with reserved coconut.
• Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven for 12-15 minutes

Steps:

• Sift flour into bowl, add sugar and coconut.
• Melt butter, add to dry ingredients with egg yolk and mix to make a firm dough.
• Roll teaspoonsfull of mixture into balls, place on greased baking tray and flatten with fork.
• Leave space between biscuits and bake 10-15mins at 180degC - 200degC (350degF - 400degF) or until brown.

Steps:

• Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat. Toast coconut flakes and pecans in batches until lightly browned and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cream butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla extract. Beat to combine.
• Combine flour and baking soda in a bowl. Add to butter mixture and mix until just combined. Stir in toasted pecans and coconut.
• Place scoops of dough on the prepared baking sheet using a 1 1/2-tablespoon spring-hinged scoop.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Carefully remove from baking sheet and transfer to a cooling rack.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Beat the butter in a large bowl using an electric whisk or in a stand mixer until very soft. Beat in both sugars and the vanilla until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg until just combined. Sift in the flour and a pinch of salt and stir to combine. Fold in 100g of the toasted coconut.
• Roll the dough into 14-16 balls (about 45g each) and arrange on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment, well spaced apart. Flatten each slightly using the palm of your hand and bake for 12-15 mins until golden brown and slightly firm to the touch. Leave to cool on the sheet briefly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Break the chocolate into pieces and tip into a heatproof bowl, then melt in 20-second bursts in the microwave. Or set the bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water, stirring until smooth. Dip one half of each cookie into the melted chocolate, then lay on a sheet of baking parchment and sprinkle with the remaining toasted coconut. Leave to set for about 30 mins.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl cream together sugar and butter.
• Add vanilla, eggs and coconut.
• Add 1/2 cup flour and baking powder, mix well. Add remaining flour.
• Stir in nuts if desired.
• On a large sprayed cookie sheet divide dough in half and shape into two logs. (I usually spray my hands with non stick cooking spray for this.).
• Bake for 20-25 minutes.
• Reduce oven temp to 300.
• Cool for 5-10 minutes remove logs from cookie sheets to a cooling rack. Cool for 10-15 minutes.
• Cut logs into 3/4 inch slices and place back on cookie sheet, bake for 15-20 minutes or until desired crispness.
• Cool completely and either dip or drizzle with melted chocolate.
• Store in a air tight can or jar. Do not store in plastic.
