Coconut Custard Pie with Papaya Sauce.

Coconut custard pie with papaya sauce recipe

I don't know why, but all of a sudden I was craving some coconut custard pie—a nice, creamy dessert that is completely vegan. Desire for custard pie! Everyone has those, right? So I created this dish that was inspired by an island and was brimming with tropical tastes like lime, papaya, and coconut.


Get my recipe for this Coconut-Lime Custard Pie with Fresh Spicy Papaya Sauce, a Homemade Oat-Spelt Maple Crust, and no baking required (other than for the crust). What's the trick to making a vegan pie that is firm like "custard"?

The Tastes. Fresh Papaya Sauce, which is sweet and little sour, is the ideal zingy tropical topping for this smooth, creamy coconut custard pie. The pie filling has a flavor and texture that is reminiscent of flan and is just moderately sweet. The sweet maple-cinnamon taste, nutty spelt flour, and whole grain oats are all packed into the crumbly structure of the crust. Before adding them to the mixture, pulse oats in a blender for a finer crust. Serve this warm or cold creamy custard pie. Serve in bars or slices.


Creations by Agar Agar. Agar Agar is the key of custard pies! I adore preparing food with agar agar. Your creativity will run wild with ways to use it after you master the method, which you can then use in your recipes. Agar Agar, a flavorless, transparent seaweed, is essentially "vegan gelatin" since, when dissolved in boiling water and then cooled to set, it produces a firm gel-like texture. You may prepare this recipe without Agar Agar, but the finished product will have more of a pudding pie consistency than a custard pie. Delicious in both cases.


The Agar Agar Method. Depending on your recipe, you should adjust the amount of agar agar you use. But before adding the Agar to the rest of your components, you should always fully dissolve it in hot water. I use around 1/2 to 1 cup of water for every 3 Tbsp of agar. The package also includes instructions. If your agar is not completely dissolved, as it cools, it will congeal into oblong, tapioca-like bulbs. Interesting, but not delicious or smooth.

Article: tiki food

Article about tiki food.

When most people think of tiki food, they think of the classic Mai Tai or other tropical cocktails. While these are certainly a big part of the tiki food scene, there is so much more to this unique cuisine. Tiki food is all about bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and, of course, a healthy dose of rum.

One of the most iconic tiki foods is the pu pu platter. This dish is essentially a sampler platter of tiki appetizers, including items like mini beef tacos, chicken skewers, and spare ribs. It's the perfect way to start your tiki meal, and it's also a great way to share. Another popular tiki dish is the Mai Tai chicken. This dish features chicken that is marinated in a Mai Tai cocktail, giving it a delicious and slightly boozy flavor. It's then grilled or baked and served with a tropical fruit salsa. For something a little lighter, the tiki tuna tartare is a great option. It's made with fresh tuna that's diced and mixed with avocado, cucumber, and a variety of other fresh herbs and spices. It's then served with wonton chips or crackers. If you're looking for a heartier entrée, the tiki-style pork chops are a great option. They're marinated in a sweet and savory sauce made with pineapple, soy sauce, and ginger. Then they're grilled or baked and served with a side of rice and beans. No matter what you're in the mood for, tiki food is sure to please. So next time you're planning a party or just looking for something different for dinner, give tiki food a try.
