Ingredients

Coconut cream:

• 3/4 cup cream (30% fat)
• 2/3 cup coconut cream
• 1/3 cup mascarpone / cream cheese
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 2 sheets gelatin

Chocolate cookie:

• 3/4 cup AP flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 egg yolks
• 2.8 oz salted butter, softened

Garnish:

• 3 tbsp. grated coconut (+/-)
• 1 square of chocolate

Materials

• 1 rolling pin
• cling film
• electric mixer
• 1 peeler
• 1 silicone dome mould
• 4 inches/10 cm diameter round ovenproof cookie cutters or tartlet molds

Preparation

• Coconut cream:
  Take 2 tablespoons of cream and set aside. Place the creams and mascarpone in the freezer for 15 minutes before use.
  Rehydrate the gelatine sheets in a bowl of cold water.
• Pour the creams and mascarpone into a large bowl and add the sugar.
  
• Beat with an electric mixer to make a thick whipped cream.
• Heat the cream (microwave: 30 seconds at 800 W). Squeeze out the gelatine leaves and add to the hot cream. Mix well to incorporate the gelatine.
  
• Add the cream + gelatine mixture to the whipped cream. Mix well (spatula or electric mixer).
• Pour the mixture into a silicone mould and place in the freezer for at least 6 hours.
  
• Chocolate cookies:
  Mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder and baking powder.
• Add the salted butter and egg yolks and mix until smooth.
  
• Place the dough in cling film and chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour to harden.
• Flour the work surface, then place the cookie dough on top. Flour again and roll out the dough to the desired height (1.5 cm for us).
  
• Cut out circles with cookie cutters (ovenproof, you can also bake them in tartlet molds) and arrange the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Bake the cookies in their greased cookie cutters for 10 minutes at 350°F/180°C.
  Leave to cool before assembling.
  
• Carefully unmold the coconut domes and place them on the cooled cookies.
  Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  *Or leave at room temperature for a few minutes if you prefer your desserts iced!
• Garnish with grated coconut and grated chocolate (grate with a peeler!).
  
• Taste and enjoy!
