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.

Steps:
- Beat together the mascarpone, double cream, coconut cream, icing sugar and rum using an electric whisk until thick enough to leave a prominent trail when you turn it off and lift it, then fold through the lime zest.
- Make the soaking liquid by stirring together the mango juice, lime juice and rum in a jug, then pour into a shallow bowl.
- Get a medium dish ready (about 30 x 20cm). Dip half the sponge fingers in the soaking liquid for about 10 seconds on each side and place in a single layer in the dish, then drizzle over 3-4 tbsp of the liquid. Top with a layer of half the mascarpone cream, then a layer of sliced mango (using about half). Repeat with the remaining sponges, mascarpone cream, and mango slices. Chill for at least 5 hrs, or preferably overnight. Just before serving, sprinkle over the flaked coconut and lime zest curls.

Tips for Making Tropical Tiramisu
- Use fresh, ripe tropical fruits. This will help to ensure that your tiramisu is bursting with flavor.
- Don't over-beat the mascarpone cheese. Over-beating can cause the cheese to become grainy and lose its smooth, creamy texture.
- Let the tiramisu chill for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set properly.
- Garnish the tiramisu with fresh tropical fruits or a sprinkle of cocoa powder before serving. This will add a touch of extra flavor and visual appeal.
