Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
3 boxes (5.3 ounces each) shortbread cookies, coarsely broken
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 1/2 cups whole milk
6 large egg yolks
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread coconut in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring once or twice, until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely. Leave oven on.
  • Process cookies and 1/2 cup coconut in a food processor until finely ground and mixture begins to clump together, about 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet; press into an even layer on bottom. Bake until golden and firm to the touch, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on sheet on a wire rack.
  • Whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a large saucepan. Whisk in milk and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil, 5 to 6 minutes. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 3 minutes more. Remove from heat. Add butter, whisking until combined. Stir in 1 1/2 cups coconut.
  • Spoon the custard onto cooled crust; smooth top with an offset spatula. Press plastic wrap directly onto custard surface, to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.
  • Beat cream and confectioners' sugar in a large chilled stainless-steel bowl until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • Cut custard-filled crust into 24 bars (each about 3 by 1 1/2 inches). Transfer to a platter. Spoon whipped cream into a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip. Beginning at one corner, pipe a zigzag pattern over each bar. Sprinkle bars with remaining 1/2 cup coconut.

Provided by Kwame Onwuachi

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 38

1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/4 cup warm water
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
Cooking spray, for the bowl
5 cups vegetable oil, for frying
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 Scotch bonnet or habanero chile, minced (see Cook's Note)
1 yellow onion, chopped
Kosher salt
1 tablespoons Caribbean curry powder
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 chicken bouillon cube
Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained
2 cups chicken broth or stock
Lime juice, as needed
3 cups sugar
1 cup tamarind paste
5 Scotch bonnet or habanero chiles, stems removed
2 cloves garlic
1 cup white balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt
1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 cup white balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt
1 English cucumber, grated
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the bara (or flatbread): Put the sugar and yeast in a medium bowl. Stir in the warm water and let it sit until bubbles begin to form, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir to combine the flour, salt, cumin, black pepper and turmeric in a medium bowl. Add the water and yeast mixture to the flour and knead, using your hands or a mixer with a dough hook attachment, until the dough is smooth and glossy, about 2 1/2 minutes.
  • Lightly oil a large bowl with cooking spray and place the dough in the bowl. Spray the dough and place plastic wrap directly on top of the dough, then add plastic wrap to the top of the bowl as well. Let the dough sit in a warm draft-free place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  • Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large Dutch oven or cast-iron skillet. Turn the dough out onto a flour-dusted work surface. Working one at a time and keeping the unused portions covered, flatten a small ball of dough with a rolling pin to the thickness of 2 tortillas, about 4 inches.
  • Working in batches, fry the flattened dough until puffed and golden, about 45 seconds per side. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Transfer the baras to a plate and cover with plastic wrap to steam and keep warm.
  • For the chickpeas: Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over low heat. Saute the onion, garlic, minced chile and a large pinch of kosher salt, about 10 minutes. Add the curry powder, allspice, cumin, nutmeg, paprika, black pepper, cayenne, bouillon cube, chickpeas and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until all the liquid has reduced, about 1 hour. Right before serving, season with salt and lime juice to taste.
  • For the tamarind sauce: Add the sugar, tamarind paste and 1 cup water to a small pot over low heat. Warm until the tamarind paste has dissolved into the water, about 5 minutes. Remove and cool.
  • For the pepper sauce: Put the habaneros, garlic, white balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt in a blender and puree until smooth.
  • For the cilantro sauce: Add the cilantro, white balsamic vinegar, and salt to a blender and puree until smooth.
  • For the garnish: Toss the cucumber and cilantro in a bowl with a pinch of salt.
  • To assemble: Place two baras slightly overlapping on a plate, then top with 2 to 3 spoons of chickpeas. Top with a little tamarind sauce, pepper sauce, cilantro sauce and grated cucumber and cilantro.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you have everything you need.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your slice will taste. This is especially true for the chocolate. Use a high-quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the slice tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Slice Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that the slice is cooked through.
  • Let the Slice Cool Completely Before Cutting: This will help to prevent the slice from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Double Dream Slice is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.

Here are some additional tips for making Double Dream Slice:

  • You can use any type of chocolate you like in this recipe. However, a semi-sweet or dark chocolate will give you the best results.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the biscuits by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely.
  • You can also use a store-bought biscuit base for this recipe. Just be sure to choose one that is not too thick.
  • Double Dream Slice can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. However, it is best enjoyed fresh.
