Method for Mascarpone Cheese Cake with Coconut and Granola

  • To make the crust, process pecan and sugar and coarsely grind. Combine them with the melted butter and transfer mixture to the sheet pan. Bake 8 minutes at 160C.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  • In Thermomix, combine coconut flakes, cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt. Scrape down the bowl.
  • Add whipping cream, mix for another 30 seconds.
  • Store in a hotel pan and place in fridge.
  • Slice the lemon in very thin slices. Bring sugar and water to a boil in a large skillet until sugar is dissolved. When liquid is clear and bubbling, reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Add lemon slices, arranging them in one layer with tongs.
  • Simmer, do not allow to boil, until lemons turn transparent, about 20-30 minutes.
  • Remove the lemons and let them cool on parchment paper.
  • Bring the syrup back to a boil for another 10 minutes.
  • Set aside and let cool.
