Coconut Ice-cream Pastry

Coconut – The wonder fruit which serves a purpose with every part, from husk to trunk to leaves. Not only is the tree versatile, but the edible parts also have plenty of goodness for your health! I have made a healthy and grainy coconut ice cream in pastry sheets for that amazing crunch. Cook to impress 🙂 I have used store-bought flour sheets to make a crunchy and crispy pastry.

Recipe :

• In a blender or with a whisker in a bowl, blend thick cream, grated coconut, honey, coconut milk, coconut powder and a pinch of salt well, until you get a creamy texture. Remove in a container and freeze for about 6 hours.

• Once frozen, put it in a blender for 1 quick blend again for that extra creamy texture before serving or storing for further use.

• Meanwhile make the pastry cupcake using cupcake baking tin. Grease 6 cupcake holders generously and place 2 sheets per holder pressing it down nicely. Spray a good amount of oil/butter on the sheets and bake for about 20 minutes on 200C or until brown and crunchy and let it cool down completely.

• Add scoops of coconut ice-cream in the pastry and garnish with few peanuts.
