Categories     dessert

Time 5h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup roasted pistachios
1/4 cup sugar
Pinch kosher salt
3 tablespoons coconut oil, at room temperature
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or extract, or more as desired
3/4 teaspoon coconut extract, or more as desired
1/2 teaspoon rosewater, optional, or more as desired
Two 13.5-ounce cans full-fat coconut milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds rhubarb, chopped into 1-inch pieces
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or extract
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Zest of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • For the crust: Combine the pistachios, sugar and salt in a food processor and blend to a coarse crumb. Add the coconut oil and pulse until the mixture crumbles together. 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.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Custard
2 (13.5-oz.) cans unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
5 large egg yolks
3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch or 1/2 cup tapioca starch (if keeping Passover, use tapioca starch)
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
3 Tbsp. virgin coconut oil, room temperature
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Crust
2 2/3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
2 large egg whites
3 Tbsp. virgin coconut oil, room temperature
2 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
Rhubarb Syrup and Assembly
2 1/4 tsp. kosher gelatin
1/2 cup strawberry jelly
1 lb. rhubarb, cut into 1/3" pieces
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Special Equipment
A 10" tart pan with removable bottom

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.

COCONUT RHUBARB DESSERT RECIPE



Coconut Rhubarb Dessert Recipe image

This takes almost 2 bags of rhubarb. It calls for 4 cups, but I just add the little extra in, and it comes out fine. The original recipe called for butter drizzled, but I like to cut it in pats and put it over the top, it adds a nice even crust. One of my families favorites, and my sister in law said she really didn't care for rhubarb, but she liked this, and even request it when we have family gatherings. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose tender rhubarb: Look for rhubarb stalks that are firm and bright red in color. Avoid stalks that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Trim the rhubarb properly: Cut off the leaves and the bottom inch of the rhubarb stalks. Then, cut the stalks into 1-inch pieces.
  • Don't overcook the rhubarb: Rhubarb is best when it is cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked rhubarb will become mushy.
  • Use a variety of spices: Coconut and rhubarb are a classic combination, but you can also add other spices to taste. Some good options include ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • Serve warm or cold: Coconut rhubarb dessert can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it warm, top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. If you are serving it cold, chill it for at least 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Coconut rhubarb dessert is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh rhubarb, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
