Fruitcake Icing


Posted the20/12/2009 By Stir, Laugh, Repeat (Visit website)




I can't say that I like Fruitcake so I don't even bother to make it. But I do sometimes find myself with leftover dried fruit and nuts that would normally go into the making of fruitcake. What do I do with them? Until today I've always tossed them into candy. One of the things I don't like about fruitcake is the taste the fruit ends up with after it's baked. Then I came up with an idea.... use them in cake icing. They keep their original taste and aren't cooked. So since I had a mixture of dried pineapple, coconut, papaya, raisins and nuts I decided to experiment using a coconut sheet cake.

For my icing I mixed 1 8oz. pkg of cream cheese, softened, 1 7 oz. jar of marshmallow cream, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and 1 cup of my fruit mix. The icing came out thick and a little lumpy from all of the fruit and nuts so I knew it wouldn't spread very well on a cold cake. Solution... Add the icing as soon as the cake comes out of the oven.

I have to say that the cake was a hit! None of my "food testers" like fruitcake but they all loved this one.
