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.

A Plus Carrot Cake
Tired of the same old, boring carrot cake? THIS is the Carrot cake you'll love forever! A little different because some of the ingredients aren't what you'd find in a 'normal' carrot cake. My own MOTHER, who despises anything coconut, had two helpings for dessert and took some home!! Don't knock it until you try it!! You'll never go back to that boring recipe again.
