Coconut Cream Club Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Toast the bread in a toaster, or under a broiler on both sides. Cut the lettuce leaves in half crosswise and form into 8 neat stacks.
• To make a double-decker club: On a clean work surface, arrange 3 bread slices in a row. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise over 1 side of each bread slice. Place a lettuce stack on top of the first bread slice, top with 2 tomato slices, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place 2 slices bacon over the tomatoes (broken to fit neatly if necessary) and top with 1/8 of the turkey (without letting any hang over the sides). Season the turkey with salt and pepper, to taste. Repeat with the second bread slice. Carefully place the second layered bread slice on top of the first layered bread, turkey side-up. Cover with the third bread slice, mayonnaise side-down.
• Pin the sandwich's layers together by piercing them with 4 frill picks or cocktail swords through the top bread slice, in 4 places in a diamond-like pattern, all the way to the bottom bread slice. Repeat entire process with the remaining ingredients to form 3 more sandwiches.
• Using a serrated knife cut each sandwich, diagonally, into 4 triangular pieces (each piece should be secured in the center with a pick or sword). Serve with potato chips and pickles.

Steps:

• With an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, and salt until smooth. Mix in flour, then coconut, beating until a dough forms. Transfer to a piece of waxed paper; pat into a rectangular log, about 3 inches wide and 6 inches long. Wrap with waxed paper; freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. With a serrated knife, slice log of dough crosswise 1/4 inch thick (you should have 24 slices); arrange slices on two baking sheets.
• Bake until golden, rotating sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, 20 to 25 minutes (watch closely toward end of cooking time to avoid overbrowning). Cool completely on sheets.
• Dividing evenly, spread ice cream on flat side of half the cookies; sandwich with remaining cookies, flat side down. Freeze on a baking sheet until firm, about 3 hours.

Steps:

• Combine shredded coconut, coconut cream, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt to a food processor and blend until mixture becomes easily moldable. You may have to press down the mixture and reblend a few times for this to happen.
• Pour mixture into an 8x8-inch (20x20-cm) pan lined with parchment or wax paper. Press down firmly with a rubber spatula and smooth mixture into an even layer.
• Freeze for 30 minutes.
• Prepare chocolate layer by combining dark chocolate chips and coconut cream in a bowl. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring mixture thoroughly in between.
• Pour chocolate mixture on top of the coconut cream layer and spread into an even layer with a rubber spatula.
• Sprinkle shredded coconut on top.
• Freeze for 1 hour, or until chocolate layer has set.
• Cut into 16 squares.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Beat dry cake mix, COOL WHIP, egg whites and 1-1/2 cups coconut in large bowl with mixer until blended. Refrigerate 2 hours.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Roll dough into 84 balls, using 1 tsp. dough for each. Place, 1 inch apart, on parchment-covered baking sheets. Spray bottom of drinking glass with cooking spray. Dip in granulated sugar, then use to flatten each ball to 1-1/2-inch diameter.
• Bake 5 min. or just until edges of cookies are firm. (Do not overbake.) Cool on baking sheet 2 min. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
• Beat butter and milk in medium bowl until creamy. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until blended. Stir in remaining coconut.
• Fill cookies with coconut mixture to make 42 sandwiches, adding about 1 tsp. coconut mixture to each sandwich.

Steps:

• Make the Peanut Butter Coconut Cream:
• In a high-speed blender, combine the dates, peanut butter, and coconut. Blend together on high speed, gradually adding in the almond milk, ¼ cup at a time (you may not need it all). The mixture should be very creamy. Continue to blend and scrape down the sides of the blender until that smoothness is achieved. Cover and set aside.
• Make the cookies:
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Mix together until smooth.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Combine the flour mixture and the peanut butter mixture, and then add the almond milk to help everything come together. The dough should be pliable and easy to roll into balls.
• Create 1- to 2-inch balls of the dough and place them some distance apart on the lined cookie sheet. Flatten the cookies gently with your hands until they are ¼ to ½ inch thick. (You want them fairly thin to create the sandwiches.) Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until the cookies have risen, and are golden around the edges. Then let them cool on the sheet slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Once the cookies are completely cooled, take 2 equal-size cookies and flip them over so the flat side (the bottom) is facing up.
• Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons or more (depending on how thick you want the filling!) of the Peanut Butter Coconut Cream on one of the cookies and place the second cookie, flat side down, right on top of it. Do this for the rest of the batch until all the cookie sandwiches are assembled. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired, before serving.
