Colosal Coconut Ambrosia

 

Recipe By :Rori Trovato

 

Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Desserts

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup whole almonds -- lightly crushed

3 whole coconuts

1 medium kiwi -- peeled and cut into slices

1 medium papaya -- peeled, seeded and cut into chunks

1 mango -- peeled, pitted and cut into chunks

8 strawberries -- hulled and halved

1 star fruit -- cut into wedges

10 red raspberries

10 golden raspberries

3 tablespoons superfine sugar

 

• Preheat the oven to 450ºF and set a rack in the middle level.

 

• Combine cream and almonds in saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Remove from heat and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Cover

mixture and refrigerate for at least one hour.

 

• Prepare coconuts while almond mixture is cooling. Pierce eyes of coconut

with ice pick or screwdriver and hammer. Drain liquid from coconut and

reserve for another use. Wrap a coconut in several thick towels. With towel

on the ground, use a hammer to crack the coconut at the center. Coconut

should crack in half and separate with 2 to 4 strong strikes. Repeat with

remaining coconuts. Rinse inside of four coconut halves and set aside in a

serving dish. Pry the meat away from the shell of the remaining coconut

halves using a screwdriver. Rinse the coconut meat and slice very thinly*.

 

• Spread coconut in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 15

to 20 minutes or until golden. Check frequently to prevent over browning.

Cool coconut on several layers of absorbent towel.

 

 

 

• Combine remaining fruit and divide into reserved coconut shells. Strain

cooled cream and discard almonds. Place cream and sugar in bowl of

KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Using wire whip, turn mixer to speed 8, and whip

cream to soft peaks.

 

• Top fruit with almond cream and garnish with toasted coconut. Serve

immediately.

 

Yield: 4 servings

 

*Note: Frozen shredded unsweetened coconut may be substituted for fresh.

Reduce baking time to 10 to 15 minutes.
