I know Paula Deen's sons said we could go to their website to actually get the recipe. I went to the website and could only get info on Henrietta's website and saw the ingredients but as far as the recipe, I can't find it on either site. I was surprised when they said we could get the recipe....as good as the coconut strips looked, I was amazed that Henrietta would make the recipe known....Of course, I can't find it, but if anyone could help me....I may be just totally dense, but I have looked until I gave up and am happy I found this forum...Thank you. Love, Joy

Love, and Joy are always welcome here. Make yourself at home!
Joy, Welcome... I watched also and went to the site and only got their address and phone number...
Maybe we misunderstood and they said we could order? They looked absolutely delicious and I'm almost tempted to place an order!! (I tried to get on their website but it said "service unavailable.)

1/4 cup cashews,almonds,sunflower or sesame seeds

Blend the remaining ingredients except the flour, until smooth.
Stir together all the ingredients & knead for 1 minute. Pinch off 1 Tb of dough &

Warning: Henrietta's Coconut Strips are known to be addictive!
I have tasted her original coconut strips and cried when they were all gone. If anyone finds a similar recipe, please post it here. But I still encourage you to treat yourself to some of Henrietta's. I want to try her key lime coconut strips, but I've seen a photo and I believe they have green food coloring added, and I try to stay away from unnecessary dyes. Like... Red Velvet cake with a whole bottle of red dye. Has anyone tasted the Red Velvet cake without the dye? Sort of a white velvet cake, perhaps?

Here is the description of it from another food chat board:
"First she made the dough. It looked like a brioche dough. a sweeter more than savory dough. Anyway, after that she rolled it thin and put it in a sheet pan fully stretched to the edges and cut it in 1" to 1 1/2"strips about 6" long. Then she froze the dough. Then she cooked the coconut with sugar and a bit of water until it became a syrup. She then removed the cut strips from the freezer and put the coconut mixture on top of the frozen strips covering them totally. She then put it in the oven to bake until golden brown and crispy.
She had two versions of the coconut mixture...one without lime zest and one with. She also had them both dunked in chocolate."

COCONUT CRISPS
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
1 tablespoon unsalted butter -- melted
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 phyllo sheets (17 by 12 inches) -- thawed
1/3 cup sweetened flaked coconut
2 teaspoons sugar
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Keep phyllo covered with 2 overlapping pieces of plastic wrap and then a damp kitchen towel.
Stir together butter and oil. Arrange 1 phyllo sheet on a work surface with a long side of phyllo nearest you, keeping remaining sheet covered. Brush with some butter mixture and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar. Top with remaining sheet of phyllo, then brush with remaining butter mixture and sprinkle with remaining teaspoon sugar.
Cut phyllo in half crosswise and stack. Cut stack into quarters and cut each quarter diagonally twice (in an X) to form 4 triangles (for a total of 16 triangles). If using the smaller size filo, use four sheets and cut into 16 triangles. (I actually cut mine smaller. They are easier to handle.)
Arrange triangles, spaced evenly, on 2 ungreased baking sheets and sprinkle with coconut. Bake in middle and lower third of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes total.
Optional: Omit coconut and substitute cinnamon and sugar.

In the olden days, Red Velvet was made with beets without the dye.
pureed baked beets will give you the red color AND betacarotene and none of the carcinogens!

I had a recipe for Chinese Lemon Chicken, had a whole bottle of yellow food coloring in
it. I think just holding the recipe was carcinogenic.
