Holy cow, as soon as you take a bite of this delicious dessert you feel like you're on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean. The tortilla is crispy and the banana's warm and creamy. We love the added flavor from the rum on the pineapples and coconut. The whipped cream and cherry on top complete the fantastic flavor combination....

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 flour tortillas (8" diameter)
1 medium banana
1 c melted milk chocolate chips
1/2 c chunk pineapple, drained (about 6-8 pieces)
1/4 c coconut, sweetened
1 tsp rum (I used Captain Morgan Spiced Rum)
1/2 c toasted & salted pecans, chopped
Reddi-wip whipped cream (in a can)
2 maraschino cherries

Steps:

  • 1. The day before: In small bowl, place drained pineapple and coconut; add about 1 tsp. rum (I used Capt. Morgan Spiced Rum). Stir to combine well. Cover and marinate overnight in the refrigerator. The liquid should be mostly absorbed when you're ready to use it.
  • 2. Place chocolate in microwave on low heat until it is melted; I had to add a 1/2 tsp. of oil to get it to keep from getting hard before I got it all used up.
  • 3. Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave on 40% power for about 30 seconds, until they are warm and pliable.
  • 4. Peel and slice banana in half and then slice it lengthwise (4 pcs). Spread 1 Tbsp melted chocolate on center of tortilla, just what the banana pieces will cover; lay banana pieces side by side, cut side up; drizzle just a few drops of chocolate on bananas; top with pineapple/coconut mixture (about 6 pcs. of pineapple fit on top of bananas). Drizzle with a little bit more chocolate!
  • 5. Sprinkle some chopped pecans over and then roll up as for a burrito, keeping it as taut as you can and fold in sides. I used toothpicks to keep it closed (see pic).
  • 6. Deep fry in oil for about 3-4 minutes, until they are crisp and light brown. Remove with tongs and place on paper towel on a rack. Let cool.
  • 7. When cool, drizzle yet a little more chocolate over and then squirt a nice amount of whipped cream in center of top, then put a cherry on that. Sprinkle with a few more pecans.
  • 8. This is NOT finger food, you'll have to cut with a sharp knife and eat it with a fork...Enjoy!

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the toasted coconut with chopped pecans. The cake still turned out great and was enjoyed by everyone at the party. Thanks for providing a delicious and allergy-friendly recipe.

I made a few adjustments to the recipe to make it healthier. I used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour, and I reduced the amount of sugar in the glaze. The cake still turned out delicious and was a healthier alternative to traditional cak
