Orange Coconut Ring Recipes

Steps:

• Add the rice, salt, 1 can of coconut milk and 1 1/2 cups water to a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and cook until almost all of the liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the Vanilla Sugar, orange zest and remaining can of coconut milk to a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a low simmer, stirring regularly, until the sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes. Once the mixture is at a simmer, turn off the heat.
• After the rice has cooked for 18 minutes, add the coconut milk-orange zest mixture to the rice and continue to cook over low until the rice is very tender and creamy, an additional 15 minutes.
• Add the sugar to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Slice open the vanilla bean pods and use the back of a knife to scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds to the food processor with the sugar and blend for about a minute, until the vanilla beans are evenly distributed. Pour the vanilla sugar into an airtight container and add 1 of the scraped vanilla bean pods.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place the coconut in a medium bowl. Wash and zest the oranges and mince the zest well. Squeeze the juice from the oranges, strain, and sprinkle half of it over the coconut. Toss well. Gradually sprinkle on more orange juice, a teaspoon at a time, tossing well with the coconut. Stop adding juice when the coconut is just moist enough to hold a snowball. Do not overmoisten. Mix in grated orange zest and set aside.
• Place egg whites and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat at medium speed until opaque and loosely foamy. Increase speed to high and add sugar in a slow stream down the side of the bowl, beating until stiff and shiny. Remove from machine and fold in the coconut. Drop by heaping tablespoons onto parchment lined baking sheets and form each into a little mound with moistened fingers. Bake at 325 for 1012 minutes until cookies are set and tips are browned. Remove from oven and let cool on rack in pans for 5 minutes, then use spatula to remove cookies from pans and let cool directly on rack. When cookies are cool, melt chocolate in small metal bowl over gently simmering water. Dip bottom of each cookie into melted chocolate and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment of wax paper. Allow chocolate harden and then serve.

Steps:

• Line cookie sheet with wax paper. Beat frosting and sifted confectioners' sugar in large bowl until well-blended. Beat in orange extract. Stir in rice cereal.
• Using tablespoon or 1-ounce cookie scoop, shape mixture into balls and place on cookie sheet. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes, or until slightly firm. Roll balls in coconut to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Combine orange chunks, yogurt, orange juice, almond milk, 2 tablespoons coconut, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a blender; process until smooth. Add ice cubes and puree until smooth and thick. Divide between 2 glasses and garnish with remaining coconut.

Steps:

• Combine rolls and roll into an 18 x 10-inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter. Combine coconut, sugar and orange peel. Spread evenly over dough. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Pinch seam to seal. Place seam side near the top and facing the center in a sprayed 10-inch tube pan. Pinch ends together. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and let rise until double. Remove wrap and bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes. Remove from pan to cooling rack. For glaze, combine everything but the coconut in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Boil and stir for 2 minutes. Spoon or brush over warm ring and sprinkle with toasted coconut.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients. Roll into 1-in. balls, then roll in confectioners' sugar. Store in the refrigerator. Roll in additional confectioners' sugar before serving.

Steps:

• Fill a pot with 2 inches of oil. Set to medium heat. Ideally you want your oil to be between 285 - 300*F. While oil is heating, slice onions and set aside. In a bowl mix cornstarch, salt, pepper & cayenne pepper. Mix well. Set aside. In another bowl mix eggs & milk together. Set aside. In a separate bowl add coconut flakes. Set a cooling rack over a cookie sheet and set aside. Take onion rings and dip into cornstarch mixture then into egg and set on drying rack. Do this to all onion rings {you may need to work in batches}. Take dipped onion ring and dip again in the cornstarch mixture and again in the egg. Set again on the drying rack. Do 3 or 4 more and then take the first one and dip into coconut. Coat as well as you can. Set onto a plate. Repeat to all onion rings. Oil should be hot at this point. If it is above 300*F remove from heat and allow it to cool down. If oil is too hot it will burn your coconut before your onion cooks. Place onion rings into oil one at a time making sure to not over crowd your pot. Cook for approximately 2 - 3 minutes per side. Coconut should be golden but not burned. Allow to cook for a minute then devour!
