For this tasty recipe, you will need passion fruit, pineapple, white chocolate, vanilla cake, and coconut ice cream. Now, let’s get started! 

Ingredients 

• 3 cups white chocolate chips 
• ¼ cup small pineapple chunks  
• 3 passion fruits (save 3 tablespoons of seeds for the topping) 
• 1 box vanilla cake mix  
• Flat cake pan  

• Parchment paper 
• Caramel coconut ice cream (or regular coconut ice cream) 
• Red food coloring 

Step 1: Prepare the vanilla cake batter as per the recipe on the box. Additionally, add 6-10 drops of food coloring so the batter is a deep red. Bake the vanilla cake using the instructions on the box mix. Bake in a flat square pan. 

Step 2: As the cake bakes, remove the seeds from the 3 passion fruits (saving 3 tablespoons of the seeds) and place them in a food processor/blender. Blend until the seeds have broken down into a liquid.  

Step 3: Add the ¼ cup of pineapple to the passion fruit mix and blend until there are no large chunks. 

Step 4: Strain the passion fruit pineapple mix and keep the strained fruit juice.  

Step 5: Place the fruit juice in the fridge to cool. 

Step 6: Wait for your cake to cool down entirely before proceeding to the next step. 

Step 7: Cut your cake into 6-12 squares depending on the size of your pan. 

Step 13: Place the squares into the freezer for 10 minutes until the chocolate has hardened.  

Step 14: Remove from the freezer and place a scoop of ice cream on top. Any remaining seeds, pineapple pieces, and fruit juice can be used as toppings for the dessert and ice cream!

Step 15: Eat, enjoy, and fall in love!
