This is a lovely recipe and I am so thankful that my husband received this cake as part of payment for fixing an air conditioner over the summer.

Luscious Lemon Cookies (Raw Foods)

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 02:11:41 -0500

From Raw Food Celebrations - Party Menus for Every Occasion by Nomi Shannon and Sheryl Duruz. It's due back to the library tomorrow and this looks good! The book says these cookies were meant to be dehydrated but taste good fresh too. "If you are not dehydrating the cookies, use dried coconut." -- posted by mliss29

Lemon Pop Cake With Pineapple Coconut Topping

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 23:32:55 -0500

From "Cake Mix Magic." The author notes that "The pop is in the cake; it's not the cake that 'pops.'" A lemon cake mix with lemon-lime soda in it is matched with a tropical toasted coconut and crushed pineapple whipped topping. The plain cake can be prepared and frozen for later. Just thaw and top it when you need to. If you are using a cake mix with pudding already in it, you may choose to eliminate the package of pudding mix that the recipe calls for. Prep time is an estimate. -- posted by the_cookie_lady

The texture of these lightened up cookies is what I love most about them, of course the mini-chocolate chips comes in a close second!

Coconut Birthday Cake

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 14:56:50 -0500

Last year I had a request for coconut cake from a very special person for a very special birthday. So, as I always do, I researched countless recipes, read reviews and piled up the cookbooks to come up with a special layer cake with a coconut-y cake, custard filling and, as requested, a non-cream cheese frosting. Lucky for me the cake turned out great. The cake itself was moist, but with a sturdy crumb. The custard filling is creamy with just a hint of tang from the sour cream. And, the 'cooked' vanilla butter cream is lovely without being sticky sweet or tasting like a stick of butter. It's taken me eight months and another request from a very good friend for her birthday to write the recipe down, so here it is. I hope you try it and enjoy it as much as our family. -- posted by goaliechik

From "Cake Mix Magic." This is a very interesting combination of flavors that I can't wait to try out. This frosting is recommended for white, spice, or chocolate cakes. You can choose to replace the hazlenuts with pecans or almonds for another interesting variation. -- posted by the_cookie_lady

Coconut-Ginger Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

Sun, 08 Feb 2009 23:26:55 -0500

From Cook's Illustrated, September 2004. A 9-inch cake pan with sides that are at least 2 inches high is recommended. For a cake with a light tender crumb, it is important to cream the butter and sugar well and to have the eggs at room temperature. -- posted by swissms

Rich Date and Coconut Cake

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 17:24:24 -0500

This is from a Cooking Light magazine (but don't let that dissuade you!). I was served this at a friend's house and thought surely it was chocolate! It tastes so decadent and rich, with a lovely caramelized coconut crunch on top. Easy to make and a big hit with company. Serve with vanilla ice cream. -- posted by Frau Frau

Our daughter simply adores these cookies. They are only ever made for Christmas, so that in itself makes them special. These freeze very well, so you can bake ahead and hide. Too bad I can't hide them from myself. :) I think this may have been a Robin Hood recipe from many years ago, but I'm not completely certain. -- posted by Diana #2

Here is another recipe from the www.bettycrocker.com website. "Why wait for the holidays to make a flavor favorite? Rum-Raisin Bars are easy enough to make for a weeknight treat." Substitution - Use orange juice for the rum. Youll get a slightly different but yummy flavor. How-To: A plastic food-storage bag makes quick work of crushing cereal. Fold or close the open end and squeeze with your hands or roll a can of food over the bag to crush. -- posted by senseicheryl

Okinawan Purple Sweet Potato Pie With Haupia Topping

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 17:17:13 -0400

The Okinawan sweet potato is a very special potato. It doesn't look like much from the outside (<a href="http://labofedibles.wordpress.com/2007/12/13/the-ugly-duckling-okinawan-purple-sweet-potato/">This site</a> calls it the ugly ducking of potatoes), but it is one beautiful and delicious spud! <p> This pie is a mixture of recipes from <a href="http://onokinegrindz.typepad.com/ono_kine_grindz/2004/10/okinawan_sweet_.html">Reid at Ono Kine Grindz </a> and my family's special shortbread recipe. <p> I would not use any other potato for this recipe. It IS labor intensive, but the pay off is so worth it! This should be a smooth, rich, mouth-watering treat. People always ask me to make this for them.<p> Cooking time does not include overnight refrigeration. -- posted by HawaiiChef79

Kathi's Ode to Almond Joy Haupia Pie

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 02:08:15 -0400

I hope you enjoy my version of this traditional coconut milk-based Hawaiian dessert, which is often found at luaus and other local gatherings in Hawai'i. Key differences include a dark chocolate layer of coconut-flavored gelled-pudding (in addition to the regular white layer), and almond flavored whipped topping. So easy to make and like the recipe says, BEST IF REFRIGERATED OVERNIGHT to let the layers set up and the flavors develop - in the words of Alton Brown: "Your patience will be rewarded!" (This pie also freezes well - I would say easily keeps for 6 months in the freezer. If you want to make more than one at a time, use regular 8" instead of deep dish pie shells, and then split the coconut mixture and chocolate coconut mixture each into equal halves after step 12 & proceed w/the rest of the steps for each pie shell. You will then have one to share, and a spare!) -- posted by Kathi Ann

Egg-Free Triple Layer Coconut Cake

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:34:50 -0400

This is a cool, refreshing refrigerated layer cake with intense coconut flavor. Using coconut milk in the cake batter gives the cake a moist texture, makes up for the lack of eggs and gives the cake a light coconut flavor. I have had success with this egg replacer mixture in other baking recipes. It is the equivalent of using two large eggs. The icing is creamy and delicious with flakes of coconut throughout and sprinkled atop the iced cake. Please note that in order for the icing to adhere properly to the cake, the cake itself MUST be completely cooled. -- posted by MarthaStewartWanabe

So I found this recipe on allrecipes but I had to tweek it quite a bit to perfect them, so now its mine :) and on a side note the yield is an approximation... some folks may have more and some less; and also the prep time doesn't include the 2 hour refridgeration. Also, the type of coconut used in this is entirely upto your preference. I like to mix half sweetened and half unsweetened because I feel like using all unsweetened isn't sweet enough, and using all sweetened is way too sweet... So again, it's entirely upto you. -- posted by chocolatelover#1

Triple Threat Coconut Cream Pie

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 01:24:07 -0400

We're in love with Tom Douglas' Coconut Cream Pie from Dahlia Bakery here in Seattle, but at $35 a pie plus a $5 deposit for the plate--I knew I had to come up with my own. I watched a demo of his on the local public television website, but still felt I needed to add my own touch. I'm proud to say it's a winner! Take that, Mr. Douglas. . . . One note: I would highly recommend you follow the instructions for a great pie crust below, for optimal crispiness and flavor. Otherwise, you can roll out a store-bought dough, and just before rolling it out, sprinkle the coconut on top and roll it in. Will be more susceptible to burning, but should be okay if you watch it close. I always make a big batch of my All Butter Pie Pastry, recipe #239831, and keep it in the freezer for easy prep. I've rolled the coconut into the prepared, thawed dough with no problem. -- posted by Battle in Seattle

Garth Brook's German Chocolate Cake With Coconut Frosting

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:44:53 -0500

Trisha Yearwood says every February, when it's Garth Brooks birthday, she makes this beautiful and delicious cake for him. She says last fall, Garth made a sad statement like only three more months until you make me that awesome German chocolate cake again! She made the cake the next day. She doubles the frosting recipe to frost the entire cake, because Garth likes extra frosting, but one recipe will frost the tops of the layers and do the trick just fine- unless you are Garth! If you have some frosting left over, it's good spread on graham cracker or on brownies. Okay, it's also good right off the spoon! Enjoy! -- posted by Sharon123

Coconut-Orange Thumb Print Cookies

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:50:48 -0500

Adding this to my holiday cookie trays. Adapted from a recipe in The Seattle Times provided by Lynne Rossetto Kasper. Something wonderful about orange at Christmas. Coconut is always so festive too. The article noted this dough really benefits from resting overnight in the refrigerator so start the day before. Over working this dough seems to make tough cookies - think I'll be using cake flour. Prep time does not include overnight dough chilling. -- posted by Buster's friend

2 Ingredient Toasted Coconut Macaroon Cookie Creations

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:24:30 -0500

These are great, really simple, really easy and of course, really tasty! The taste of the pure partly toasted coconut comes through really well and I always make a double batch. WARNING: If you don't like coconut, make something else! -- posted by robd16

Coconut Ice - Old-Fashioned Sweet Shop Coconut Candy

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 14:49:09 -0500

A trip down Memory Lane! This is my mum's recipe for Coconut Ice, little coconut squares which are coloured pink and white, and used to be popular in old-fashioned British sweet (candy) shops. My mum used to make trays and trays of these for our Church fêtes, as well as for Christmas and for gifts. These lovely little coconut morsels are very popular in Scotland where I think my mum's recipe originated either from my Scottish grandmother or an auntie. These are great fun to make with the children, as they are easy as well as being "no-cook". If you plan to make them for gifts or to sell, pack them into attractive cellophane bags, glass jars or boxes and add a pretty ribbon as well as a label of ingredients and storage details. This recipe is part of my Old Fashioned Sweet Shop collection of recipes, sweets, candies, fudges, sugar plums and chocolates! -- posted by French Tart

Walnut Overload, Dark Chocolate & Coconut Cake

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 13:49:03 -0500

A four layer, dark cocoa, walnuts & coconut cake with the smoothest chocolate cream cheese icing you've ever tasted. ------ My wife made this recipe by combining my Italian Cream Cake recipe with the chocolate cake recipe off the back of the Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa can. In addition to cocoa, she added butter and Cool Whip to the frosting... resulting in a uniquely creamy icing. The resulting combo is the best chocolate cake I've ever had. ------ With all the walnuts and coconut, best to use a serrated edge knife to cut it. -- posted by Ron Mauldin

Coconut Lime Stars

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:05:17 -0500

"These crunchy, buttery cookies have a refreshing tropical taste from the toasted coconut in the batter and a tart lime frosting. Reeah Parker of Germantown made these for her son in the Marines one summer and they were such a hit, she now makes them year-round, cutting them into holiday shapes." Found this recipe in The Washington Post - almost an amuse-bouche for a Christmas platter. Refreshing, tart, wonderful! Thank you Reeah! ***Note - prep time includes a 30 minute chill time for the dough*** -- posted by Buster's friend

German Chocolate Cookies

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 19:23:31 -0500

Found in the Washington Post who attributed it to cookbook author Sally Sampson's "Cookies". The dough can be frozen for up to two months. The cookies keep 5 days room temp in an airtight container (good for mailing!) & two weeks in the freezer after being baked (handy!). NOTE: To toast the pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and place in a 325-degree oven, shaking the sheet occasionally, for 15 minutes. Watch carefully; nuts burn quickly. *****these were one of the first gobbled up cookies on our Christmas trays! They are very dark & lumpy bumpy - suspicious looking in fact - but once tried were scooped up fast!****** -- posted by Buster's friend

Golden Coconut Macaroons

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 19:56:31 -0500

Who can resist a pretty little macaroon sitting on a Christmas platter; the hand just goes for them. O-M-G! Macaroons made richer with the use of whole eggs! I am imagining this dipped in bittersweet chocolate (toes curling in anticipation LOL!)... Found this gem in The Washington Post who adapted it from a Jayne Sutton recipe in "Cookies Unlimited," by Nick Malgieri. Make room on the platters, these little babies are coming on board! Pssst! Super easy to make too! based on the review I made some chnges when I got to this recipe today. They turned out fluffy & chewy (& ORANGE!). I put my changes in parentheses so the original recipe is still here too. I suspect letting the mix sit for an hour would help if using 2 eggs. BTW - I recommend NEVER buying the Hiram Walker's Pumpkin Spice Brandy - undrinkable in anything but oddly enough worked well here. Go figure. I have enough for Christmas macaroons until... well, a long time. -- posted by Buster's friend

Rachel's Special Chocolate Coconut Oat Bars

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:19:53 -0500

I was in the mood for all three and concocted this: it has the urban decadence of chocolate, the tropical staple of coconut, and the rustic comfort of classic oatmeal. These bars are special because those three things symbolize the various walks of life I have experienced. Open for all kinds of other toppings too! This calls for cream of coconut, crema de coco-- not to be confused with coconut milk or coconut syrup. Would make a wonderful gift or a party/potluck dessert! Cook time does not include chill time. -- posted by the80srule

Mrs. Kern's Date Balls

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 02:02:31 -0500

As a child, my parents traveled quite a bit and a retired couple (Mr. and Mrs. Kern) would stay with us kids. I'm sure keeping 4 kids busy wasn't easy, and Mrs. Kern would make these no-bake treats for us. It's a simple-to-prepare recipe, one that Mrs. Kern allowed us to help make we were in charge of rolling the date balls in coconut. -- posted by *Kathy*
