Strawberry and coconut pancakes
- 50 mins
- Serves 8
Ingredients
- 405g can Carnation Condensed Milk Light
- 150ml (¼pt) water
- 2 large egg yolks
- 25g (1oz) plain flour, sifted
- 55g (2oz) desiccated coconut, toasted
- finely grated zest of an orange
- 8 prepared pancakes (French crêpes)
- 225g (8oz) strawberries, hulled and chopped
Method
- Make a pastry cream: place the condensed milk and water in a saucepan, mix well and bring to the boil, stirring continuously. Remove from the heat.
- Whisk the egg yolks until pale and fluffy. Add the sieved flour and mix well.
- Pour the hot milk onto the egg yolks, whisking continuously. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook, stirring, over a low heat for 5–8 minutes until thickened. Remove from the heat.
- Gently heat the coconut in a dry frying pan, stirring occasionally, until toasted to a golden brown. Stir the orange zest and two thirds of the coconut into the pastry cream. Cover with cling film and allow to cool.
- Place a few strawberries onto each pancake and spoon over some coconut pastry cream. Fold up the base of the pancake by a quarter, then roll up to form a cone. Repeat with all the pancakes and filling, reserving some strawberries. Serve either cold or warm with some more strawberries, the remaining toasted coconut ... and vanilla ice cream.
