Tropical Tiramisu
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 8 ounce package cream cheese
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons pineapple juice concentrate thawed
- 3 cups leftover bunny cake cubed
- ½ cup mango nectar
- ½ teaspoon rum flavored extract
- ¼ cup chopped crystallized ginger
- ¼ cup chopped macadamia nuts
- ½ cup sliced fresh mango garnish
Instructions
- 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.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. Garnish each serving with fresh mango slices and pineapple.
