COCONUT MANDARIN PARFAITS
This is a tropical twist on a recipe I found in a magazine. I used one 11 oz can of mandarin oranges, but you can adjust how much you use to your own tastes. You can also use Vanilla instant pudding, and 1 - 2 tsp of coconut extract. You can easily double the recipe if your dessert glasses are taller.

Steps:
- Pour milk into medium bowl. Add dry pudding mix. Beat with wire whisk 2 min or until well blended.
- Spoon half of the pudding evenly into 4 dessert glasses, and drop a few mandarin orange slices into the pudding.
- Let pudding set for 5-10 minutes.
- Cover with few mandarin slices, touching the edge of glass.
- Top orange slices with a spoonful of sheredded coconut, rest of pudding, then the rest of coconut.
- There is no set amount for each serving, just divide the layers evenly for four servings. You can also get creative with your ingredients -- like substituting bananas for the oranges. I think two average-sized bananas would work.
COCONUT CREAM AND CHOCOLATE RICE CAKE PARFAIT
My wife Polly discovered this technique of chilling the can of coconut milk, taking the crema off the top and whipping it into whipped cream. I thought it was so cool, to get the whipped cream experience but dairy free. The last few years I've tried to reduce my gluten intake, i.e. I don't drink beer anymore (but I still eat scallion pancakes and dumplings for the record). Hence I developed this gluten-free rice cake that is still super chocolately and decadent. I have to say this, everyone loves parfait, said by the donkey on Shrek!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 1/3 hotel pan that is 2 1/2-inches deep, about 3 quarts in size, with the room temperature butter. Set aside.
- Add the rice flour to a medium bowl and whisk in the liquid egg substitute until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
- Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set aside. Place the oat milk in a saucepan with the cinnamon sticks and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, pour over the chocolate and cover with a plate, pot lid or whatever will cover the top of the bowl. After at least 5 minutes, remove the cinnamon sticks and whisk the chocolate until smooth. Add the chocolate ganache to the rice flour mixture and carefully stir to combine. Pour into the greased pan and put into the oven. Bake until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack lined sheet tray and let cool completely at room temperature.
- Remove the top cream from the coconut cans and discard or reserve for another use. Pour the rest of the coconut can contents into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk until thickened and holds stiff peaks. Set aside and save in the refrigerator until the cake is completely cooled.
- Make the parfaits in rocks glasses. Cut out small circles of the cake to fit them - 2 to 3 inches in size. Place a piece of cake on the bottom, top with the coconut whipped cream and repeat until you end with the dollop of cream on top. Dust cocoa powder on top for garnish and serve.

Steps:
- For rice pudding:
- Bring 3 cups water to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Add rice; reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered until very tender, about 18 minutes. Drain if necessary. Whisk 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, eggs, egg yolks, cornstarch, and vanilla in large bowl to combine. Bring whole milk, coconut milk, remaining 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, and salt to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Pour over sugar-egg mixture, whisking constantly. Strain mixture back into saucepan and bring to boil over medium heat. Whisk gently until slightly thickened. Remove from heat. Fold in cooked rice and coconut. Pour into bowl, pressing plastic wrap onto surface, and refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours. (Can be prepared up to 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.) Stir in cream.
- For macaroon crumble:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss coconut, flour, both sugars, and salt in large bowl to combine. Using fingertips, rub butter into mixture until clumps form. Spread mixture on baking sheet, patting down slightly. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool. Break crumble into bite-size pieces.
- Toss pineapple and mango in bowl to combine. Spoon 1/4 cup rice pudding into each of 6 wineglasses. Top each with 1/4 cup fruit mixture. Sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons macaroon crumble. Repeat with remaining pudding and fruit mixture (reserve remaining pudding for another use). Sprinkle each parfait with 2 tablespoons macaroon crumble and serve.
- Unsweetened coconut milk is available at Indian, Southeast Asian, and Latin American markets and many supermarkets.
COCONUT PARFAITS
EVERY TIME I serve this simple but elegant dessert to guests, I have to give them the recipe, too. I found this dessert recipe in the early '50s and since then, it has earned a place in my tried-and-true file. I had to make adjustments to prepare it for two people, but it can be easily increased to serve any number. -Merval Harvey, Glennie, Michigan
