Rhubarb Coconut Ripples Recipes

Steps:

• Put the rhubarb into a pan with 100g/4oz sugar and the honey and cook over a low heat for 15-20 minutes until completely softened. Taste and add more sugar if necessary. Spoon the rhubarb into a sieve set over a bowl. This will release some of the rhubarb juices, which will provide a syrup. Leave until cold.
• Whip the double cream to soft peaks. If the rhubarb pulp is very pale, mix in a little grenadine to give it more of a pink tone. Now mix the coconut cream into the rhubarb pulp, and add 100ml/3½fl oz of the rhubarb juices. Lightly fold in the cream, leaving the rhubarb with a rippled effect.

Distribute the mixture among 8 serving glasses and use a muddler or the back of a spoon to press it down evenly and firmly. Set aside.
• For the malabi: Whisk together the cornstarch, vanilla bean paste, coconut extract, rosewater, if using, and 1/2 cup coconut milk in a medium bowl.
• Whisk together the sugar, salt and the remaining coconut milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking often, until simmering, then pour in the cornstarch mixture in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly. Continue to cook, whisking, until the mixture has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the extracts and flavorings as desired. Divide the mixture among the 8 serving glasses (about 1/2 cup in each), then cover and chill for 4 hours or up to overnight.
• For the rhubarb: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Spread the rhubarb on a rimmed baking sheet and top it with the sugar, vanilla bean paste, salt and lemon zest. Cover with foil and roast for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and roast for another 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. (Store overnight refrigerated in an airtight container if making this the day before.) Spoon directly on top of the malabi before serving.

Steps:

• Custard
• Bring coconut milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Whisk egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium bowl to combine. Whisking constantly, gradually add 1 cup warmed coconut milk to egg yolk mixture. Whisking constantly, add egg mixture to milk mixture in saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, 7 minutes (mixture should start bubbling halfway through and thicken to a pudding consistency, but be sure to cook the full 7 minutes).
• Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. Immediately whisk in coconut oil and vanilla. Cover bowl with plastic, pressing on surface of custard. Chill until set, at least 2 hours.
• Do Ahead: Custard can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
• Crust
• Preheat oven to 325°. Toast coconut on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden, 7-10 minutes. Let cool.
• Lightly coat tart pan with nonstick spray. Mix toasted coconut, egg whites, oil, sugar, and salt with a rubber spatula in a large bowl until combined and the consistency of a stiff paste.
• Transfer coconut mixture to tart pan. Using your hands, press mixture evenly onto bottom and up sides of pan. Bake crust until edges are lightly brown and bottom is set and just barely golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let crust cool.
• Do Ahead: Crust can be baked 1 day ahead. Wrap with plastic and store at room temperature.
• Rhubarb Syrup and Assembly
• Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup water in a small bowl. Let sit 10 minutes.
• Combine jelly and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add bloomed gelatin and mix to combine. Add rhubarb, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is lighter pink in color and slightly softened, 2-4 minutes depending on thickness of stalks. Mix in lemon juice. Turn off heat and let rhubarb come to room temperature in syrup (about 1 hour). Strain cooled rhubarb through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl; reserve syrup.
• Whisk chilled custard until creamy. Spoon custard into tart shell; smooth with an offset spatula.
• Scatter rhubarb in an even layer over custard. Pour 1/4 cup rhubarb syrup over fruit, tilting pan to evenly distribute. Chill 20 minutes, then repeat with 1/4 cup rhubarb syrup. Chill tart at least 3 hours and up to overnight before serving.

Steps:

• Line a 900g loaf tin with baking parchment. Put the chopped rhubarb in a medium-sized saucepan with the caster sugar, ginger cordial and 2 tbsp water. Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved, then simmer for 10-15 mins or until the rhubarb is soft but still holds its shape. Pour into a heatproof jug and leave to cool.
• In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites with an electric hand whisk until stiff, then set aside. In another bowl, whisk the yolks with the icing sugar until they're pale and starting to thicken. Finally, in a third bowl, whip the double cream until thick. Fold the yolk mixture into the whipped cream until well combined, then fold in the egg whites and half of the broken meringues.
• Gently spoon a third of the cream mixture into the prepared tin and freeze for 20-30 mins or until just set (keeping the rest of the cream mixture in the fridge). Once it has set, take the tin out of the freezer and pour in half of the cooked rhubarb. Reserve a little of the cooked rhubarb for decorating later, if you like. Top with another third of the cream mixture and return to the freezer for another 30 mins. Once this layer has set, add the remaining rhubarb, followed by a final layer of cream. Cover with cling film and put it back in the freezer for 2 hrs to firm up.
• To serve, turn it out onto a serving plate and peel away the parchment. Decorate with any reserved rhubarb, the remaining meringue pieces and the crystallised ginger. Slice and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Put the gelatine into a bowl and cover with cold water. Leave to soak for 5 mins until softened. Heat the coconut milk with 2 tbsp sugar in a pan. Bring to a gentle simmer, then remove from the heat. Lift the gelatine from the water and stir into the coconut milk. Keep stirring until the gelatine has dissolved, then pour into four small glass dishes or dessert bowls (if using glass, leave the milk to cool a little first). When the creams are cool, transfer to the fridge and leave to set.
• Split the vanilla pod down the centre and put into a pan with 2 tbsp water and the remaining 4 tbsp sugar. Bring slowly to the boil to dissolve the sugar, then add the rhubarb and poach gently until softened but not mushy, about 3-4 mins. Leave to cool. Spoon the rhubarb over the coconut creams to serve.
