Island Ice Cream Soda

Recipe By : webmaster@godiva.com
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:45
Categories : Godiva Beverages
Company Ice Cream / Sherbert

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
—–Coconut Ice Cream—–
6 Large Egg Yolks
1 Pinch Salt
2 Cups Heavy Cream
15 Ounce Can Cream Of Coconut — (fx. Coco Lopez)
2 Tablespoons Dark Rum — -or-
2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
—–Pineapple-Ginger Syrup—–
1 Medium Pineapple — peeled and cubed
2 In. Piece Ginger Peel — slice thinly
1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
—–Assembly—–
1 Cup Heavy Cream
1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
32 Oz. Bottle Seltzer Water — chilled
—–For Garnish—–
2 Tablespoons Macadamia Nuts — chopped
4 Pineapple Wedges

Make the coconut ice cream:

1. In a 4 1/2-quart bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer set at
medium-high speed, using the wire whisk attachment, beat the egg
yolks and salt for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are pale yellow
and form a thick ribbon when the whisk is lifted.

2. In a heavy, medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream
to a gentle boil. Remove the pan from the heat and gradually stir
1 cup of the hot cream into the beaten egg yolks until well blended.
Gradually stir this mixture back into the saucepan. Cook the
custard over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden
spoon, for 2 to 4 minutes, or until the custard has thickened
slightly. It is done when you can run your finger down the back of
the custard-coated spoon and a path remains in the custard for
several seconds. Do not allow the custard to come to a boil.

3. Remove the pan from the heat and immediately strain through
a sieve into a stainless steel bowl. Place the bowl over a larger
bowl of ice water and stir the custard for 5 to 10 minutes, or
until cool. Whisk in the cream of coconut and rum or vanilla.
Remove the bowl of custard from the bowl of ice water. Cover
the surface of the custard with plastic wrap and refrigerate for
at least 6 hours, or overnight, until very cold.

4. Scrape the chilled custard into the container of an ice cream
maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Transfer the ice cream to a medium bowl. Cover the surface of
the ice cream with plastic wrap and cover the bowl tightly with
aluminum foil. Freeze the ice cream overnight.

Make the pineapple-ginger syrup:

1. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal chopping
blade, combine the pineapple and ginger pieces. Process for 45
seconds, or until the mixture is pureed. Transfer the puree to a
medium, non-corrosive saucepan. Add the sugar to the puree and
cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon
until the mixture comes to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer the
puree for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, and cool the
puree completely. Strain the puree through a fine-meshed sieve
into a medium bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and
refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until chilled.

Assemble the ice cream sodas:

1. In a chilled 4 1/2-quart bowl of a heavy duty electric mixer,
using the wire whip attachment, beat the cream, sugar, and
vanilla at medium-high speed until stiff peaks start to form. Fill
a pastry bag fitted with a star tip (such as Ateco #6) with the
cream. Refrigerate the cream until ready to use.

2. Pour 1/2 cup of the pineapple syrup into a tall, 16-ounce glass.
Add seltzer water almost to the top of the glass. Place a scoop
of the coconut ice cream on the side of the glass. Pipe a large
rosette of whipped cream next to the scoop. Top with 1/2
tablespoon of the macadamia nuts and garnish with a pineapple
wedge. Repeat this procedure to make 3 more ice cream sodas.
Serve immediately.

4 servings.

PREPARATION: 45 minutes plus chilling and freezing times.

Title: CHINESE STEAMED LOTUS BUNS
Categories: Chinese, Appetizers
Yield: 24 servings

Stephen Ceideburg
1 Envelope active dry yeast
6 tb Sugar
1/4 c Warm water (100 degrees F.
-to 110 degrees F.)
3 1/2 c All-purpose flour, + more
-for kneading
1 c Warm milk (100 degrees F. to
-110 degrees F.)
2 ts Baking powder
Asian sesame oil or
-vegetable oil

Put yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar into a bowl.
Pour in warm water, stir, and let mixture stand 5
minutes to dissolve. It should foam and bubble. If it
does not, discard and use a fresh package of yeast.

Put flour and remaining sugar in a food processor
fitted with the metal blade. Turn machine on for 2
seconds to mix ingredients. Combine yeast mixture with
warm milk and, while the machine is running, pour milk
down the feed tube in a steady stream. Process until
dough forms a rough ball. If the ball is sticky, add
flour, 1 teaspoon at a time, and process a few seconds
longer until dough pulls away from sides of bowl.
Remove dough to a lightly floured board.

Knead, dusting with flour until dough is smooth and
elastic, about 2 minutes. Form dough into a ball and
put it into a large, lightly oiled. mixing bowl. Cover
and set in a warm spot. Let rise until it doubles in
size, about 1 hour.

Punch down dough and turn out on a lightly floured
surface. Flatten, then put the baking powder in the
center. Fold over edges and knead until baking powder
is thoroughly incorporated. Invert, mixing bowl over
the dough; let rest 10 minutes.

Divide dough in half. Cover one half, and roll the
other half into 12-inch-long roll; cut into 12 pieces.
Remove 1 piece and cover rest. Roll the piece into a
flat 3 1/2 inch circle. Lightly brush one with oil;
fold over to form a half moon. With the back of a
knife score the half-moons crosswise at 1/4-inch
intervals.

Then with a chopstick, make an indentation in the
middle of the rounded edge while the thumb and
forefinger pinch the middle of straight edge to form a
notch and form a leaf. Set on a 3-inch square of
parchment paper and place in a steaming basket. (You
will need 2 baskets, or you’ll need to steam 2
separate batches.) Repeat with remaining dough; leave
space between buns in the basket.

Let rise for 30 minutes, or until buns almost double
in size, then steam over boiling water for 15 minutes.
When done, let cool for a minute before serving.

Makes 24 buns.
