Even the gastronomic wizard who invented this recipe calls the name gimmicky, but who cares? The clever technique of using both a seltzer charge and a cream charge gives you a foamy, snow-white dessert with an almost ethereal lightness.
  • 1 2/3 cups coconut water
  • 1/4 cup coconut-milk powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • Equipment:

    a soda syphon with 1 seltzer charge and 1 cream charge
  • Blend together coconut water, coconut powder, sugar, and xanthan gum in a blender. Pour mixture into sode syphon and seal well.
  • Charge syphon with seltzer charger, shaking syphon a few times. Carefully remove empty seltzer charge, then charge syphon with cream charge. Shake syphon vigorously several times, then fill Champagne flutes or other tall, skinny glasses.
