Ginger, vanilla seed and coconut ice cream
Irresistible choux swans filled with Chantilly cream with lily pads of Ginger, Vanilla seed and Coconut Ice Cream
are on the menu. As delicate as they are sweet.
Finely dice the ginger from a jar of preserved ginger and add, with the syrup to a bowl.
Open a can of coconut milk, full or half fat to suit and add to the diced ginger and syrup.
Add 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger syrup, if you have.
Remove the seeds from one vanilla pod and stir the seeds into the mix. (Store the remaining pod in a jar of sugar)
Add a little pinch of salt and a decent slug of white Caribbean rum if you have some.
Chill the mixture and then process in an ice cream maker.
Tip: Try adding 2 tablespoons of desiccated coconut before processing and then rolling balls of the frozen ice cream in desiccated coconut to make ‘Caribbean Snow Balls’!
Enjoy! x

Where can one find those delightful swans? I’ve never seen them. Is ‘choux’ like cream puffs?
These are just too cute!
So beautifully presented!
Your blog is so classy and beautiful! I wish I was eating those beautiful swans. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by my blog.
The choux pastry looks perfect 🙂
I love the swans, and the ice-cream sounds amazing.
I will definitely be making this recipe , it’s fancy , cute and it looks delicious . ❤
I love making those swans! They are so easy to do. These look absolutely perfect too!
Oh my, this is gorgeous. I love the idea – maybe one day I will master the swan! Or, er, attempt one
Oh, wow! I grew up hearing about how my grandfather would make cream puff swans but never saw them. Did you make these and if so, how? They’e wonderful!
Just choux pastry, pipe the wings/body with a large star nozzle. The neck is a sharp S with a thin tube piping bag nozzle and as it dries slightly go back and make a ciircular blob for the head, allowing for the beak shape. Failures became waterlillies! Cute arne’t they? xxx
Thank you; can’t wait to try it!
That is awesome!
Stunning!
Oh that’s delectable..
Irresistible! Only thing I can’t get to break into such an awesome piece of art.
Thanks for liking my post.
oh my gosh I love your blog! elegant sweets! 😀
My mom hosts a Christmas tea every year at her house, and one year she made cream swans just like this. I always thought it was such a fun way to present a classic dessert.
I have fallen in love with your blog.It is so colorful and tasty. Oh and wonderful ideas 🙂
This looks incredible. Thank you for dropping by my site 🙂
Thanks for stopping by my blog, I now get to see yours. YUM. ICE CREAM IS MY FAVOURITE FOOD, besides oysters (but not together). The Queen of England owns all the swans, I believe, and if she saw this I’m sure she would be making moves to repossess them. I would if I were the Queen.
The cream puffs look delicious! 😀The swans make the presentation look amazing!
Stunning!
I made choux swans years ago and believe I might still have the recipe book tucked away somewhere…lovely to see them again.
OMG, too cute to eat!!!
