Coconut Coffee ala Crème

February 15, 2008

This delicious coffee served warm is a great way to remind you of soft sandy beaches in winter time, and a great bring-along cold coffee for when summertime finally arrives and you can dip into the ocean or pool once again. The coconut can easily be found in the baking department of most supermarkets or check out sources at a Thai or other Asian neighborhood market. It's also an easy recipe to remember as each of the three ingredients is the same amount.

  Coconut Coffee ala Crème  
   
     
 

Ingredients:
2 cups of whole milk
2 cups of brewed coffee
2 cups of sweet shredded coconut

Directions:
Pre-heat your oven to 350°F.

Brew the coffee.

In a saucepan, put the shredded coconut and the milk together, stir, and warm slightly over a low flame, about three minutes.

Using a fine-mesh sieve, pour the heated mixture through the sieve into a glass or porcelain bowl.

Spread out the milk-infused coconut thinly on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake until golden, about eight minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and set aside.

To serve, pour ½ cup coffee into four mugs. Add ½ cup milk and stir. Garnish with the toasted coconut and serve immediately with a teaspoon to scoop up every sweet morsel of coconut.

For the cold version, pour coffee and milk together into a heat-proof pitcher. Allow to cool then cover and refrigerate. When ready to use, pour into a thermos and place the toasted coconut in a covered food storage box. To serve, pour out the coffee and milk mixture into four mugs, garnish with the coconut, and enjoy.

YIELD: 4 generous servings

NOTE: Coconut can be warmed in a toaster oven, using the same temperature.
