• ✓ butter flavored shortening
• peach
• sugar
• all-purpose flour
• baking powder
• baking soda
• salt
• cinnamon
• sugar
• egg
• vanilla extract
• pecan

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
2. 2 Place peaches, peach juice and 6 tablespoons sugar in a blender; puree until smooth.
3. 3 In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Stir in the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the vanilla. Blend this mixture into the flour mixture, alternately with the peach puree; stir just to combine. Fold in the nuts. Pour batter into prepared pans.
4. 4 Bake at 325 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pans; turn out on rack and let cool completely.

Ingredients

• ✓ butter flavored shortening
• water
• potato flake
• evaporated milk
• sugar
• salt
• all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. 1 Mix together boiling water, potato flakes, evaporated milk, shortening, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Place in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled.
2. 2 After dough is thoroughly chilled, add 3 cups flour, using a pastry blender to cut in.
3. 3 Divide dough into 3 equal size portions. Form into 3 logs. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator.
4. 4 Heat an electric griddle to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5. 5 Divide logs into 8 pieces of dough. Roll each piece to about the size of a 10-inch tortilla. Work additional remaining flour into rounds as needed. Use care to press lightly with the rolling pin when forming into rounds as they are much more tender than pie dough. The weight of a large rolling pin is nearly enough.
6. 6 Bake on the griddle until golden brown and each round feels dry but not crisp, about 1 minute. Flip and turn lefse frequently.
7. 7 Cool on a cloth. Cover with an additional cloth. Stack pieces on top of each other as they are baked. The steam will create a more tender product.

• confectioners sugar
• heavy cream
• butter
• egg yolk
• egg
• milk
• cornstarch
• vanilla bean
• coconut
• sugar
• coconut milk
• rum
• coconut water
• butter
• salt
• all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. 1 To make the crust, combine the flour, salt, cold butter, and cold shortening in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the butter and shortening are the size of small peas. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add the coconut water and rum 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork to mix. When the mixture can be squeezed into a ball, wrap it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. 2 Grease an 8-inch pie pan. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to the pie pan. Trim the edges and fold the dough under itself; crimp the crust. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. 3 Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4. 4 Prick the bottom and sides of the pie dough with a fork. Line the dough with parchment paper or aluminum foil and weigh it down with pie weights or dried beans (see Editor's Note). Bake until the edges of the crust are golden and the bottom of the crust is just beginning to color, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven, carefully remove the foil and beans, and set aside.
5. 5 Combine the coconut milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup toasted coconut, and the scraped vanilla bean seeds and pod in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil and remove from the heat.
6. 6 Whisk the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with the cornstarch. Whisk the eggs and egg yolk together in a large heat-proof bowl; whisk in the milk and the cornstarch mixture. Gradually pour the hot coconut milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Return the custard mixture to the saucepan.
7. 7 Cook the custard over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula or wooden spoon. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. The mixture will thicken. Remove the pan from the heat and discard the vanilla bean pod. Whisk in the butter. Pour the custard into the cooled pie crust. Chill the pie for 1 hour.
8. 8 Place a mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill. Whip the cream on high speed until it begins to thicken; gradually add the confectioner's sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Continue beating until stiff. Pipe or spread the cream onto the chilled pie and sprinkle with the remaining toasted coconut.
