ACCOMPANIMENTS
Preparation
Make "cannoli" shells: Preheat oven to 350F. and lightly grease a heavy baking sheet. Arrange 4 parchment squares on baking sheet. (Oil or butter makes parchment squares stick to baking sheet). In a food processor blend together coconut and flour until coconut is ground fine. Add butter, sugars, and milk and blend until dough forms a ball, about 10 seconds. Spoon a well-rounded teaspoon of dough onto each of the 4 parchment squares and with slightly wet fingertips evenly pat into 2 inch rounds. Bake cookies in middle of oven until very thin and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Immediately transfer cookies (still on parchment) to a rack and let stand until just firm enough to hold their shape, 30 to 45 seconds. Working with 1 cookie at a time and using parchment as an aid, quickly roll cookie around a cannoli form to make a cylinder. (If cookies become too firm to roll, return them on parchment on baking sheet to oven 1 minute to soften.) Cool formed cookies or a rack before removing cannoli form. Make more cookies in same manner with remaining dough, baking and forming cookies in batches of 4 and allowing baking sheet to cool completely between each batch. Cookies are fragile. Cookies keep in one layer in an airtight container at room temperature 4 days. Make filling: In a bowl with an electric mixer beat cream cheese with sugar, zest, and lime juice until smooth and beat in mascarpone. Chill filling, covered, until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 1 day. Assemble dessert: Whisk filling and transfer it to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch plain or decorative tip. Carefully pipe filling into both ends of 12 cookies. Pour about 1/4 cup mango sauce onto each of 6 dessert plates, tilting plate to distribute sauce evenly, and top with 2 "cannoli," raspberries, and carambola slices. Serves 6.
