Servings: 12
Preparation Time: about 1 hour

Chocolate Coconut Cake:

Tres Leches Sauce:

  • 8 oz sweetened condensed milk*
  • 1 14 oz coconut milk** or evaporated milk
  • 1 cup whole milk or cream

Mexican Chocolate Sauce/Frosting:

Chocolate Coconut Cake:

Set oven at 325 F. Grease a 9×13 pan and dust with coconut flour.

In a small bowl combine the flour, cocoa, sea salt and baking soda. In a large bowl blend together the egg yolks, oil, honey, vanilla and cinnamon. Add dry ingredients into the large bowl and blend together till smooth (very well combined).

Put egg whites in a clean glass bowl, sprinkle some lemon juice and beat till stiff peaks form.

Fold egg whites into the batter and be careful not to over mix!

Pour mixture into 9×13 pan and bake for 35-40 minutes. Before taking it out, test it with a knife and if it comes out clean… it is done.

Remove cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely. If desired, turn the cake unto a large plate or keep it in the pan.

Tres Leches Sauce:

Pour milks into a large jar and mix very well. Pour over the cake slowly in sections. Do not pour it all at once!

Note: if the coconut milk is very thick, you will need to water it down till it is the same consistency as regular evaporated milk.

Mexican Chocolate Sauce/Frosting:

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate and coconut oil or butter. Stir in honey, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and optional chile. Let it cool. Heavily drizzle it over the cake (if desired) and serve!

If you want it more frosting-like… place the sauce in the freezer for about 15 minutes. Remove from the freezer and whip the frosting with a hand blender until fluffy and thick. Carefully frost the cake and serve!

* You can make your own sweetened condensed milk with our recipe here.

** For the freshest coconut milk make homemade coconut milk. (See video at this link.)

Coconut Cream Pie with gluten free crust photo

Crust:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl with a wooden spoon, mix together the eggs, coconut flour, shredded coconut, honey and salt. Once well blended, add the butter, coconut oil, and water. Mix dough together with your hands until everything has blended together. Pat dough into a round pie pan. Press the dough firmly into the pan. When you are done forming the crust, take the egg white and beat it with a fork until frothy. With a pastry brush, brush the crust with the egg white and bake at 350 for 14 minutes. Cool completely on wire rack.

Filling:

Combine sugar, cornstarch, and shredded coconut together in a pot and slowly pour the heavy cream into the pot over medium heat. Add vanilla, butter and coconut cream concentrate while stirring with a wire whisk constantly. Bring mixture to a simmer and then reduce heat to medium low. Continue stirring until mixture becomes very thick and then turn the heat down to low. Cool the mixture in the pot with a cover for about 5 minutes. Pour mixture into cooled pie crust and place wax paper on the top of the pie to prevent skin formation on the filling. Place pie in a pan of cool water until the filling is completely cool. Top pie with whipped cream and garnish with toasted coconut flakes (optional.) Refrigerate until ready to serve and enjoy!!
