AUNTIE LISA'S SUAFA'I (SAMOAN TAPIOCA PUDDING W/BANANAS AND COCONUT CREAM) RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Auntie Lisa's suafa'i (Samoan tapioca pudding w/bananas and coconut cream) Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-39535

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 bananas
4 cups water
1/2 cup tapioca
1 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup sugar
The sugar is optional but I do recommend it. Make sure you pull the inner strings off the bananas before boiling! The riper the banana the stronger the banana flavor.
Our family's personal taste is to use an entire can of purchased coconut milk and reduce the water accordingly. Or if using homemade coconut milk to reduce the water by a half a cup and increase the coconut milk a half a cup.

Steps:

  • Peel the bananas and place in a medium saucepan. Add the water and then bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for about 20 minutes. Break the bananas up with a wooden spoon, fork or masher. Sprinkle the tapioca into the saucepan while stirring. Add the coconut milk and then simmer over low/medium heat until the tapioca is cooked, about 15 minutes. Stir frequently. Finally, taste the suafa'i. If you like a little more sweetness, then add sugar to taste. Remove from the heat, leave for about 30 minutes to cool and then serve in a bowl or cup. You can also cool suafa'i completely, and refrigerate it. Once cooled, serve it as a snack or dessert.

PUMPKIN PUDDING WITH CINNAMON COCONUT WHIPPED CREAM RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Pumpkin Pudding with Cinnamon Coconut Whipped Cream Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by erinstargirl

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup filtered water
1 2/3 cups organic coconut milk {full fat}
1 2/3 cups organic pumpkin {not pie filling}
1/4 cup organic pure maple syrup or raw honey {depending on which you prefer}
1 tsp ground organic cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground organic cloves
Separated thick cream from a chilled can of organic coconut milk
1 TB organic pure maple syrup or raw honey
A healthy pinch or two of ground organic cinnamon

Steps:

  • Place the gelatin in the bottom of a small bowl. Cover the gelatin with water and let it bloom. Alternatively, you can mix it using a fork. In a saucepan, gradually warm the coconut milk over medium-low heat. Add the bloomed gelatin. Using a flat whisk, whisk until you can no longer see the gelatin. Remove from the heat. Place the pumpkin, raw honey or maple syrup, cinnamon, and cloves in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides as needed. Add the coconut milk mixture to the food processor and pulse until everything is combined. Divide the pudding mixture among your dessert dishes, with room to spare with the topping. I used small ramekins for the kids and larger {relatively speaking} for adults. Chill in the fridge until set (20 minutes to an hour). Meanwhile you can prep the coconut whipped topping. Remove a chilled can of organic coconut milk from the fridge, open it with the can facing upside down, pour off the milk - there should be a good amount of solid "cream" at the top of the can. Scoop the thick cream out and place into a mixer bowl. Add raw honey or maple syrup and cinnamon. Whip for a few seconds. Resist any temptation to dive right into the bowl... When the pudding is set, add a nice dollop to the center of each ramekin and spread it evenly outward with the back of a teaspoon. Serve immediately or chill to let the topping set slightly.

In a large bowl, whisk together the yolks, whole eggs, coconut milk, cream of coconut, salt, nutmeg, and mace. Stir in 1 1/2 cup of the coconut flakes. Pour the custard over the bread cubes, pressing the bread cubes gently to soak up the custard.

  • 3. Sprinkle the top of the pudding with the remaining 1/2 cup coconut flakes. Cover the baking dish with foil, poking a few holes in the top to release the steam. Put the baking dish into a roasting pan on the oven rack. Pour hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the pudding is firm to the touch, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 15 minutes more. Remove the baking dish from the water bath and run it under the broiler, at least 4 inches from the heat, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Let the pudding cool completely

Tips:

  • If you don't have coconut cream on hand, you can make your own by blending one cup of unsweetened shredded coconut with one cup of water until smooth. Then, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve.
  • For a richer pudding, use heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add a tablespoon of butter to the mixture for even more richness.
  • If you want a sweeter pudding, add more sugar to taste. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for a more complex flavor.
  • Serve the pudding warm or chilled. Top with whipped cream, shaved coconut, or fresh fruit.
