Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/4 ounce dried yeast (1 packet)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup, plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground mace
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup grapeseed oil
2 egg yolks
1 1/4 cups cold, light beer
3 egg whites
Canola oil, for deep-frying (enough to submerge the beignets)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground mace
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 cup powdered sugar
5 small bananas, peeled, cut in 1/2 crosswise; or 3 regular bananas, peeled, cut in 1/2 lengthwise and again crosswise
1 ripe mango, peeled, cut into 10 strips
10 thick strips pineapple
Powdered sugar
20 mint leaves, shredded, for garnish
Vanilla-Cinnamon Almibar, recipe follows
1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 stick cinnamon
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lime juice

Steps:

  • Combine the sifted flour, yeast, salt, 1/4 cup of sugar, and the spices in a large bowl. In another bowl, combine the grapeseed oil, egg yolks, and beer. Combine the dry and wet ingredients and whisk until all the lumps are gone.
  • Set a mixer on medium-high speed and in another bowl, whip the 3 egg whites with the remaining tablespoon of sugar to a medium-soft peak. Carefully fold the egg whites into the beer batter. Let this mixture rest covered, at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • In a fryer or deep pot heat the oil to 375 degrees F.
  • Whip the heavy cream by hand or with an electric mixer until it becomes stiff. Set aside.
  • Combine the flour, cinnamon, mace, and granulated sugar. Coat the fruit with this, shaking off the excess. Now dip each piece of fruit into the batter, and drop 1 by 1 into the hot oil. Cook the beignets until they are golden brown. Place them on a large plate lined with paper towels, gently patting them to soak up excess oil.
  • Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately with the whipped cream topped with mint leaves.
  • For even more flavor, serve drizzled with Almibar Syrup.
  • Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan, bring them to a boil, then let them simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, until the mixture is slightly golden and syrupy and reduced to about 1 cup. Remove the vanilla bean and cinnamon stick. Refrigerate the syrup. It will keep for up to 2 months.

Time 9h50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large mango - peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
½ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 pinch salt
4 egg yolks
¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3 cups cold milk
1 (5 ounce) package coconut pudding mix (such as JELL-O® Cook and Serve)
1 cup sweetened grated coconut
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
¼ cup white sugar
1 (12 ounce) package prepared pound cake, cut into cubes
3 bananas, sliced
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries

Steps:

  • Combine mango, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a food processor; puree until smooth. Add egg yolks; process for 15 seconds.
  • Pour mango mixture through a sieve set over a large metal bowl, pressing on solids with the back of a spatula to release as much puree as possible. Discard solids in sieve.
  • Fill a large saucepan with 2 inches of water; bring to a simmer. Set metal bowl on top; whisk puree until thickened and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 170 degrees F (77 degrees C), about 10 minutes.
  • Place metal bowl on a towel on a flat work surface. Whisk in butter 1 piece at a time until blended. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Combine milk and coconut pudding mix in a saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat; fold in grated coconut and vanilla extract. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
  • Beat heavy cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add 1/4 cup sugar gradually, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Place 1/2 of the pound cake cubes in the bottom of a large trifle bowl. Layer some of the bananas, pineapple, and strawberries on top. Spoon 1/2 of the mango puree and coconut pudding on top. Repeat layers with remaining pound cake, bananas, pineapple, strawberries, mango puree, and coconut pudding.
  • Spoon whipped cream on top in big, fluffy swirls. Chill until serving.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use ripe fruit: The riper the fruit, the sweeter and more flavorful your beignets will be. If you can't find ripe fruit, you can ripen it at home by placing it in a paper bag with an apple for a few days.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your beignets tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fry the beignets in hot oil: The oil should be between 350°F and 375°F. If the oil is too hot, the beignets will burn. If the oil is too cold, the beignets will be greasy.
  • Drain the beignets on paper towels: After frying, drain the beignets on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the beignets immediately: Beignets are best served warm and fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours. Reheat them in a warm oven or toaster oven before serving.

Conclusion:

Tropical fruit beignets with mango coulis and coconut ice cream are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual brunch to a formal dinner party. The beignets are light and fluffy, with a crispy exterior and a sweet and tangy filling. The mango coulis is a perfect complement to the beignets, adding a sweet and tropical flavor.
