Pina Colada Spritz Cookies

Sun, 01 Feb 2004 20:00:00 -0500

I found the basic recipe in recipegoldmine, then adapted it to make beautiful cookies for Chinese New Year. The combination of pineapple, coconut and a hint of almond is very yummy! Prep time is an estimation and cook time is 8 minutes per batch. Please note that these cookies are not very sweet, so if you have a sweet tooth, do not hesitate to use 1/2 cup of caster/brown sugar. -- posted by WaterMelon

Coconut-Pineapple Banana Bread

Mon, 22 Mar 2004 20:00:14 -0500

This is a nice "tropical" flavored banana bread. Instead of walnuts, substitute chopped macadamias for a more tropical flavor. -- posted by mikekey

Is It Really Better Than Sex? Cake

Sun, 28 Mar 2004 20:00:03 -0500

I brought this to a pot luck last night and it was the talk of the party because of its name! Everybody wanted to try it and everyone loved it! The cake was so moist and fresh tasting that a few people actually claimed it to be better than sex! One guy wouldn't even try it because he says that there's nothing better than sex! The cake brought a bunch of laughter that evening! -- posted by Grace Lynn

Hawaiian Honeymoon Cake

Sat, 07 Aug 2004 19:59:36 -0400

This recipe came about as I searched for a recipe for my future sister-in-law's Hawaiian-themed bridal shower. I found several recipes that sounded good, but not quite right, so I combined and modified them to make this one. This is a very moist cake that is somewhat Twinkie-like in flavor (if Twinkies had coconut!). The fruit is pulverized and while it adds to the flavor of the cake, you really can't pinpoint that there's fruit in it. I winged the frosting recipe, and it came out good. This makes a thick and custardy frosting, and the fruit is more perceptable here. If you prefer a lighter and fluffier frosting, add in more Cool Whip. The unflavored gelatin keeps the frosting firmer longer. -- posted by Vino Girl

Pineapple Coconut Snowballs

Mon, 13 Sep 2004 19:59:46 -0400

This recipe is from Taste of Home's Light & and Tasty Holiday Recipes 2004. These are not very sweet, but are a refreshing change of pace from the usual holiday baked goods, fudges, and candies. If you prefer a sweeter treat be sure to add sugar or sugar substitute to the mixture before rolling. I know there are many of us here at Zaar looking for good holiday treats that work with our eating plans. One snowball is 2 points. -- posted by Amber of AZ

Piña Colada Dipping Sauce

Mon, 04 Apr 2005 09:01:45 -0400

This is a wonderful dipping sauce like the one you'll find at Red Lobster, served with their Parrot Bay Coconut Shrimp. One of the times I've had this at the restaurant I was with a bunch of friends, and - on a whim - we dipped everything we'd ordered in it... and it ALL tasted good in it. Even the broccoli! :) From then on, we called it "crack." -- posted by Julesong

Pineapple - Coconut Cream Dream Pie

Sun, 20 Nov 2005 23:41:56 -0500

This pie is a "cooked" filling like your granny used to make. It's fully of fat, sugar, calories and totally something that would make dear Mr. Adkins and his diet and the folks at Weight Watchers have a heart attack and drop dead. However, my dietitian and I have tried to make it low-sugar/low-carb. -- posted by Redneck Epicurean

Pineapple Muffins With Coconut and Brown Sugar Topping

I was in the mood for pineapple and wanted to make some muffins and found few such combinations on this site. I did a quick search and found this on About.com, under the heading Southern U.S. Cuisine, from Diana Rattray. I really liked these, they are flavorful and not overly sweet. I thought they might need a little something and I added some allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg to the topping. -- posted by pattikay in L.A.

I was looking for pina colada bars without rum, and couldn't find exactly what I wanted: a bar cookie that had 3 layers: cookie, pineapple, and coconut. So I found two recipes and combined them to make what I wanted. (They are Cherry Pineapple Bars and Cherry Macaroon Bars.) I omitted the cherries (marashino - yuck!), and already reduced the sugar to half, since most recipes have too much sugar. It was just right. You may want to adjust to your taste. -- posted by Triplit Mom

Lemon Pop Cake With Pineapple Coconut Topping

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 23:32:55 -0500

From "Cake Mix Magic." The author notes that "The pop is in the cake; it's not the cake that 'pops.'" A lemon cake mix with lemon-lime soda in it is matched with a tropical toasted coconut and crushed pineapple whipped topping. The plain cake can be prepared and frozen for later. Just thaw and top it when you need to. If you are using a cake mix with pudding already in it, you may choose to eliminate the package of pudding mix that the recipe calls for. Prep time is an estimate. -- posted by the_cookie_lady

Hawaiian Tea Bread

Wed, 04 Mar 2009 01:11:59 -0500

I love this bread. It's so moist and versatile. I make it for breakfast, brunch, tea parties, and even desert. I like to use a mini loaf pan and give the loaves as gifts in a gift basket along with other "Hawaiian" treats. I also use valtrompia bread tubes in different shapes and then slice. The slices look so pretty on a plate. If you use the bread tubes, be sure to fold wax paper to fit over both ends of the tubes before fitting the lids on. I learned this recipe when I used to be a consultant for Pampered Chef. -- posted by JeanieK

My Husband and I had a Piña Colada at the place of its origin in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico - Barrachina Restaurant. This is actually the exact recipe that I got from the restaurant for the original Pina Colada. It is recommended that you use Bacardi rum as it is from Puerto Rico as well (we visited the distilllery that same day). I did not include the freezing time. Enjoy! -- posted by Nif

Tropical 7 Layer Twist Bars

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 01:18:20 -0400

*After making 7 Layer Bars for a bake sale at work, I started thinking about how well white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts go together. Then I thought, "Hey!!! What would happen if I threw them together with some pineapple and coconut?", and this is what I came up with ... A refreshing tropical twist on an old favorite. Depending on how big you cut your pieces, you can get about 12 to 16 bars. I also plan on making these in a mini muffin pan, to get some little "tropical tarts" -- posted by "Ratalouille"

Pina Colada Pudding Cups (Low Fat)

From "Taste of Home" comes this delicious, refreshing and simple recipe. I sometimes don't toast the coconut and mix it with the rest of the ingredients. Also, I never use coconut extract. -- posted by MillaKette

My mom used to make this delicious Polynesian recipe when I was a kid. I just love the different toppings you can add to this basic coconut curry base. You can make it as spicy or as sweet as you want. -- posted by Krista Roes

I made this tonight out of things on hand, so measurements are approximations. It was *really* good, so I thought I'd post it. -- posted by mliss29
