Light coconut cake

12 déc

Eating desert without feeling guilty? This is possible with this yummy coconut cake recipe. Coconut milk is good for your health, and has it is already sweet, there is no need to had lots of extra sugar. You don’t need to had oil or fat as well, the one contained in the coconut milk is sufficient. Now you see why I called this recipe “light” coconut cake ;-)

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes
Difficulty: Very Easy
Ingredients (for 6 people):
- 20 cl of coconut milk
- 2 tablespoon of sugar
- 2 eggs
- 200 gr of flour
- 100 gr of grated coconut

Separate the egg yolk from the egg whites and beat the egg whites until stiff.
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together in the following order: egg yolks, sugar, coconut milk, flour and the grated coconut. Add delicately the stiff egg whites.
Pour the mixture into a cake mould and cook into oven thermostat 160 degrees for around 45 minutes.

Eat this cake warm or cold… if it has the time to cool before you eat it all!

Tips: test the cake and see if it is sweet enough for you. If not, add a tablespoon of sugar. If yes, maybe you don’t need to put any sugar at all!

Blanc-manger coconut flan

21 nov

Blanc-manger/coconut flan is a typical recipe from the French West Indies, Guadeloupe and Martinique. I love it! It is fresh, tasty, and light! So if you have guest and you want to serve them a nice desert without ruining your diet, this is the perfect recipe!

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients (for 6 person):
- 1 tin of condensed/evaporated milk (380 gr)
- If the condensed/evaporated milked is not sweetened, add 150 gr of caster sugar, otherwise you don’t need it.
- 4 eggs
- 1 litre of milk (preferably fresh)
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla sugar
- 150 gr of cocounut flakes

Separate the egg yolks from the eggwhites. But the egg yolks in a bowl and mix them with the condensed milk, the milk, the vanilla sugar, the cononut flakes (and the sugar if the condensed milk is not sweetened).
Beat the eggwhites until stiff, then add them gently into the coconut dought.

But the mixture into a dish and cook the coconut flan into the oven thermostat 180 degrees for around 45 minutes. To know if the flan is ready, stick a knife into it. If the knife stays clean, the flan is ready, otherwise leave it to cook for a few more minutes.

Tip: Try to spread some caramel on top of the flan! I know, it is less good for your diet, but it is very tasty!
