Time 8h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 1/2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup sweetened cream of coconut, well stirred
Zest of 2 limes (about 1 tablespoon)
50 vanilla wafer cookies, such as Nilla wafers (about 6 ounces)
2 cups sweetened coconut flakes
1 small mango, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup roasted macadamia nuts, lightly crushed, for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine the heavy cream and cream of coconut in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Fold in the lime zest.
  • Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform cake pan with a single layer of cookies, breaking up some of them to fill in any gaps. Spread half of the coconut-lime cream on top of the cookies, then sprinkle with half of the coconut flakes and half the mango. Repeat this layer 1 more time with the remaining cookies, cream, coconut flakes and mango. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 12.
  • Once completely chilled, remove the plastic wrap and run a thin paring knife along the edge of the cake. Remove the outer ring of the pan. Sprinkle the cake with the macadamia nuts.

HAWAIIAN ICE-BOX CAKE



Hawaiian Ice-Box Cake image

Recipe from the "Women Who Can Dish It Out -- Junior League of Springfield, Missouri" cookbook. I love cakes that can be stored in the fridge -- this allows my hubby to sample a piece each night after dinner. This recipe calls for the "lighter version" of ingredients in order to avoid any guilt in having a piece night after night until its gone.
