What is Coconut Cream Pastry Boats

Boat-shaped yeast pastries filled with a thick vanilla milk cream, coconut and whipped cream, topped with strawberries and chocolate candies.

How to make Coconut Cream Pastry Boats

Tips from the cook

  • Whisk the cornstarch cream constantly while it thickens, so it stays free of lumps.
  • Cool the coconut cream completely before piping, as warm cream melts into the dough.
  • Pinch the edges of each boat firmly, so they do not open in the oven.
  • Add the whipped cream and strawberries just before serving.
