Hawaiian Dream Cake
Ingredients
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 10 large marshmallows, quartered, or 40 miniature marshmallows
- 1 small can crushed pineapple
- 3/4 cup halved maraschino cherries
- 1 1/2 cups cream
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 2 (3 ounce) packages ladyfingers
Instructions
- Combine sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Add marshmallows, pineapple and cherries.
- In a cold bowl with cold beaters, whip cream to stiff peaks, then fold in sour cream. Fold half the cream mixture into the fruit mixture. Chill remaining cream for decoration later.
- Split ladyfingers lengthwise into halves, then halve them crosswise. Stand ladyfinger halves around sides of pan, rounded sides out, rounded tips up. Trim cut ends of remaining ladyfingers to a V-shape so that ladyfingers look like flower petals. Arrange "petals" like a daisy in the bottom of the pan, flat sides up, making sure the ladyfingers are flush with those around the sides. Cut a circle
from ladyfinger scrap or use pieces as needed to fill in center and gaps.
- Fill springform pan with fruit mixture. Cover with remaining whipped cream mixture, smoothing to edge. You can also use a tube pan or other mold without wax paper. chill at least 6 hours, or wrap well and freeze.
- To serve, run a thin knife around ladyfingers to loosen any stuck areas. Remove springform sides.
- Cut into wedges to serve.
