Paradise, of course! Toasted, sugared, creamy, or crunchy, nothing compares to the flavor of coconut. Lori Longbotham, former Gourmet editor and author of Luscious Lemon Desserts and Luscious Chocolate Desserts, now offers a taste of paradise with over sixty recipes for coconut-based cakes, tarts, cookies, custards, sauces, and candies. From classic coconut cream pie to Coconut Pistachio Baklava to Deep Dark Chocolate, Coconut, and Ginger Brownies, these recipes are proof that sweets can be nutritious—because coconut is high in fiber, rich with vitamins and minerals, and utterly indulgent.
