Ingredients

• ✓ cream cheese
• white sugar
• puff pastry
• corn syrup

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2 Cut cream cheese into 1/4-inch thick slices; place cut side-down on a board and cut into logs.
3. 3 Place 1 cup sugar into a small bowl; place cream cheese logs into sugar and roll to coat. Set aside.
4. 4 Cut each puff pastry sheet evenly into 3 or 4 squares, no bigger than 5-to-6 inches each. Place 1 square in front of you with 1 corner pointing down. Place 1 sugar-covered cheese log about 1/3 up from the bottom corner; proceed to fold pastry around it in the same manner as an egg roll, with the bottom corner over cheese, side corners towards the center, then roll from bottom, up. Brush some water in the last corner to seal roll.
5. 5 Place quesito on the prepared pan, seam-side down. Repeat with all squares, making sure there is at least 1-inch between them.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
7. 7 Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Brush tops with corn syrup.

• ✓ cream cheese
• coconut
• gingersnap cookie
• butter
• sweetened condensed milk
• egg
• lime zest
• lime juice
• coconut extract
• mango

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. 2 Combine coconut, gingersnap cookies, and melted butter in a bowl; mix until evenly moistened. Press cookie mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared pan.

4. 4 Reduce oven heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
5. 5 Beat softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth. With the beater set to medium-low, slowly pour condensed milk into the bowl, mixing only until just blended and stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl as necessary.
6. 6 Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; scrape the sides of the bowl as necessary.
7. 7 Pour about 1/2 of the cream cheese batter into a separate bowl. Stir lime zest and lime juice into portion in the new bowl; pour batter over crust in the springform pan, smoothing into an even layer.
8. 8 Stir coconut extract through remaining cream cheese batter; pour over lime-flavored batter in the springform pan, smoothing into an even layer.
9. 9 Bake in the preheated oven until top of cheesecake springs back when gently pressed, about 45 minutes.
10. 10 Turn oven heat off, but leave cheesecake inside with the oven door slightly ajar until the oven cools completely. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
11. 11 Prepare mango coulis by puréeing mango with sugar in a blender until smooth. If too thick, add 1 teaspoon water at a time, using just enough to make it pourable. Drizzle over cheesecake when plated.

• vanilla extract
• egg
• vegetable oil
• salt
• baking soda
• cinnamon
• all-purpose flour
• white sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter two 9-inch round cake pans, then dust with flour. Set aside.
2. 2 Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl; whisk quickly to combine. Add oil and eggs and mix with a spatula until just combined.
3. 3 Add vanilla, pineapple, bananas, and toasted pecans, and mix until thoroughly combined. Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans. Shake each pan then tap on the counter to settle the batter and bring any air bubbles to the top.
4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden skewer inserted in center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
5. 5 Let cakes cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Let cool completely, at least 1 hour.

Using the whisk attachment on high speed, mix until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary with a spatula. Mix in the powdered sugar on a lower speed in 3 or 4 additions until mostly incorporated. Increase to high speed and whip until light and fluffy.
7. 7 Place one cake on a serving platter. Spread 1/2 of the frosting on top, leaving 1/4 to 1/2 inch unfrosted at the edges. Top with second cake layer and give it a firm but gentle press. Pile remaining frosting on top and spread toward the outside.
8. 8 Place in the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour.
9. 9 Meanwhile, draw or trace a hummingbird template on a piece of paper and lay on a baking sheet under a silicone mat (such as Silpat®).
10. 10 Heat sugar for hummingbird in a saucepan over medium-low heat until dissolved, hot, and amber in color. Drip liquid sugar onto the silicon mat, tracing the hummingbird pattern. Let sit until hard.
11. 11 Place cooled hummingbird on top of cake and decorate with edible flowers.

• butter
• brown sugar
• coconut
• pecan
• vanilla extract
• lime juice
• lime zest
• dark rum
• milk
• banana
• salt
• baking soda
• baking powder
• all-purpose flour
• egg
• sugar
• butter

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease two 8x4 inch loaf pans.
2. 2 Beat together 2 tablespoons of softened butter and cream cheese in a large bowl until fluffy. Slowly beat in sugar until well incorporated. Add the egg and mix well. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. In a different bowl, mix together the bananas, milk, 2 tablespoons rum, lime zest, lime juice, and vanilla extract; stir well. Pour 1/3 of the flour mixture into the butter and mix well. Mix in 1/2 of the mashed bananas. Continue with another 1/3 of the flour, followed by the remaining banana mixture, and finally the remaining flour. Fold in 1/4 cup pecans and 1/4 cup coconut flakes.
3. 3 Pour the mixture into the loaf pans, and bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about one hour. When finished, cool for 10 minutes in the pan, remove, and finish cooling on a wire rack.
4. 4 After you take the banana bread out of the oven, prepare the topping by stirring together the brown sugar, remaining butter, lime juice, and 2 teaspoons of rum in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer stirring constantly; cook until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about one minute. Remove from heat, and stir in 2 tablespoons pecans, and 2 tablespoons coconut. Spoon this topping over the loaves while they are still warm. The topping will harden slightly when the loaf cools.
