  1. 1 Melt coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté chicken in hot oil until browned completely, about 5 minutes. Add celery, onion, curry powder, and garlic. Sauté until onion is tender, 8 to 10 minutes more.
  2. 2 Pour chicken broth, water, and coconut milk into the pot; add diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, butternut squash, and coconut. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until squash is soft, about 40 minutes.
  3. 3 Stir bananas into soup; simmer until bananas are soft, about 5 minutes more.

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. 2 Spread coconut on a baking sheet. Spread almonds on a separate baking sheet.
  3. 3 Bake coconut and almonds in the preheated oven for 15 minutes; stir and continue baking until coconut and almonds are golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes more, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. 4 Combine coconut, almonds, rice cereal, and honey graham cereal together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  5. 5 Combine white sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan; attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan and bring mixture to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until mixture reaches 240 degrees F (115 degrees C), about 10 minutes, or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from water and placed on a flat surface.
  6. 6 Pour sugar-butter mixture over cereal mixture; stir until well coated. Divide mixture between 2 baking sheets to cool, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping.

Instructions

  1. 1 Cupcakes:
  2. 2 Combine evaporated milk, butter, brown sugar, sugar, egg yolks, and salt in a saucepan. Cook over medium-high, whisking constantly, until it coats the back of a spoon, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in coconut, pecans, and almond extract. Transfer to a medium bowl, and cool in the refrigerator, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until just chilled, about 1 hour.
  3. 3 Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners, and lightly coat liners with baking spray.
  4. 4 Whisk together flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, espresso granules, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl until combined. Stir in sour cream, oil, buttermilk, vanilla, and eggs just until smooth. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups (about 1/3 cup batter each).
  5. 5 Place pan in preheated oven; immediately reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  6. 6 Chocolate Frosting:
  7. 7 Bake until a wooden pick inserted in center of cupcakes comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes; transfer cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  8. 8 Place butter, powdered sugar, and cocoa in bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, scraping down sides as needed, about 3 minutes. Stir in melted chocolate, cream, and vanilla until combined and smooth. Cover and chill until just firm, about 30 minutes.
  9. 9 Stir frosting, and spoon into a piping bag fitted with a Wilton #21 fluted tip. Pipe a circle around the edge of each cupcake. Spoon coconut icing inside each circle of chocolate frosting.
  10. 10 Serve and enjoy!
