Ah, nothing like the sweet taste of the tropics! Using my leftover coconut bunny cake I created a tiramisu featuring the tropical flavors of pineapple, mango, ginger, and macadamia nuts. My cake was a white cake but a leftover yellow cake would work just as well. Sliced almonds can be substituted for macadamia nuts.
Ingredients
- 1 package cream cheese , 8 ounce
- 0.25 cups honey
- 2 tablespoons pineapple juice concentrate , thawed
- 3 cups leftover bunny cake , cubed
- 0.5 cups mango nectar
- 0.5 teaspoons rum flavored extract
- 0.25 cups chopped crystallized ginger
- 0.25 cups chopped macadamia nuts
- 0.5 cups sliced fresh mango , garnish
Instructions

1
In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, honey, and pineapple juice concentrate until light and fluffy; set aside. In a small bowl, combine the mango nectar and rum extract; set aside.

Place half of the cake cubes in a 1 1/2 quart glass bowl. Drizzle half of the mango/rum mixture over the cake, then spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the cake. Sprinkle on half of the ginger and nuts. Repeat layers.
