Coconut Tres Leches Poke Cake
A moist vanilla cake soaked with a blend of coconut milk, evaporated milk, and pineapple juice. Punched holes let the liquid seep in, creating rich moisture throughout. A quick coconut pudding layer seals the soak in before whipped cream tops it all off. Tropical fruit adds brightness and texture. Adapted with coconut and pineapple flavors instead of traditional milks, bringing an island twist. Timing is flexible but watch for visual cues like shine on the cake surface and pudding slightly thickened. Whipping cream to stiff peaks—key for stable topping. Solve dryness by adjusting soak liquids or poke deeper holes.
Scallop Ceviche Twist
Fresh diced scallops mixed with diced fire-roasted tomatoes and zucchini for a twist. Lime zest and juice provide brightness, balanced by avocado oil and fresh cilantro. Salt-crusted glass rims add sharp citrus contrast. No eggs, nuts, gluten, dairy, or lactose. Serve in margarita glasses for that festive vibe. Resting time allows flavors to meld without over-marinating. Quick, visual cues for texture critical. Simple, clean, stripped of fluff.
