Coconut desserts come in many forms, including macaroons, coconut cake, and even ice cream. Coconut can replace other ingredients, such as flour and dairy milk, and is a popular choice for special occasions.
There are many different types of coconut desserts, from cakes, puddings, cookies, and even ice cream. Even a simple jelly can become a coconut dessert if the plain water is replaced with coconut water or milk. Some of the most popular coconut desserts are macaroons, coconut cake and coconut cake, which has different varieties.
Amaretto is a baked dessert and can resemble a bite-sized cake or cookie, depending on the variety. Originally, its main ingredient was peanuts, especially almonds, but the inclusion of coconut became popular and, in some recipes, almonds were not included. Coconut Macaroons are primarily made from dried coconut, egg whites, and sugar. Condensed milk may also be included or can replace the sugar. Macaroons can be topped with chopped nuts or dipped in chocolate.
Another coconut dessert to make is coconut cake. One variety of pie involves filling a pie crust with large chunks of coconut meat lightly cooked in condensed milk and topping it with a top crust before baking. Another version is the French coconut pie, which uses shredded, dried or fresh coconut instead of the big chunks. Some wet ingredients, such as butter and eggs, are used to bind shredded coconut together, along with sugar and other ingredients as a sweetener. The filling is then poured into the pie crust, but is often left uncovered with a top crust, creating a very crunchy outer shell of toasted coconuts.
Coconut cakes are also popular coconut desserts that can be baked on special occasions, such as Christmas, weddings and birthdays for example. Many coconut cakes often call for layers, with white cream frosting between cake layers. After assembly, the cake can then be completely covered in icing and sprinkled with shredded coconut. The cake can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, trendy. The coconut cake recipe can also be the basis for making coconut cupcakes.
Other coconut desserts are coconut sherbet, rice pudding cooked in coconut milk, and even fried coconut puffs. As an ingredient, the coconut fruit is very versatile and can be a healthier and tastier substitute for some ingredients. Dried coconut can partially replace flour, and coconut milk extracted from meat can be used instead of dairy milk. The taste of coconut also makes for good desserts as the flavor of the fruit is clean, refreshing and cleanses the palette after a meal.
