Steps:
- Pastry cream: In a large sauce-pan, bring milk, coconut, and salt to just under a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand until cool, about 2 hours. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve; discard solids.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together granulated sugar and cornstarch. Whisk in egg yolks, then milk mixture. Stir in butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then continue to cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Pass mixture through fine-mesh sieve. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto surface of pastry cream to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
- Crêpes: Combine flour, granulated sugar, salt, milk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter in a blender. Blend until smooth. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
- Lightly brush an 8-inch non-stick skillet or crêpe pan with butter. Heat over medium until just starting to smoke. Remove from heat and pour a scant 2 tablespoons batter into center, swirling to cover bottom. Cook until edges are golden and center is dry, about 30 seconds. Flip and cook about 20 seconds more. Slide crêpe onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing skillet with more butter and adjusting heat as needed; stack crêpes as you go (you should end up with about 40). Let cool completely. Crêpes can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days.
- Whisk chilled pastry cream to remove any lumps. In a medium bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold into pastry cream. Place a crêpe on a flat serving dish. Spread about 1/4 cup pastry cream onto crêpe. Repeat process with remaining crêpes and pastry cream, finishing with a crêpe. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- To serve, whip remaining 1 cup heavy cream with confectioners' sugar to stiff peaks. Arrange pineapple slices on top of cake, overlapping slightly. Dollop whipped cream on top and garnish with toasted coconut.

TROPICAL POUND CAKE
Pomegranate seeds add a nice touch to the tropical fruit topping. To minimize the mess of seeding a pomegranate, follow these simple instructions. First, cut off the crown and score the fruit into quarters. Soak the fruit in a large bowl of cold water for 5 minutes. Holding the fruit underwater, break the scored sections apart with your fingers. Then separate the seed clusters from the skin and membranes. Discard the skin and the membranes; dry the seeds on paper towels.

TROPICAL FRUIT CAKE (1963)
This is another of my SIL Becky's Great Great Uncle, Lee A. Harley's recipes. This was selected as one of the ten best in the State of South Carolina in the 1963 Pillsbury Bake Off. This one does not have the glazed fruit like the other ones, but has coconut, crushed pineapple, and nuts and sounds excellent to me. The picture...

FRUITCAKE WITH TROPICAL FRUIT
incredible fruitcake. Found the recipe online and made it cause it used tropical fruit. This is insanely delicious. Cake will not last till Christmas. Do plan on putting a marzipan icing on top after finished a few weeks of basting cake with rum.

Steps:
- 1. 1. Cut up any large pieces of dried fruit, they should all be no larger than one inch cubes. Put all the dried fruit (not apple or lemon) in a large bowl, add half the rum or other spirit, cover with a clean cloth and leave overnight.
- 2. 2. Grease then line an 8in cake tin (pan) with a double layer of greaseproof (wax) paper, grease the paper. Preheat oven to 150 deg C (300 deg F).
- 3. 3. Mix the lemon rind and juice with the grated apple then stir it and the chopped almonds into the dried fruit mixture. Sieve (strain) the flour and spices together.
- 4. 4. Cream the butter, brown sugar and molasses together - it's easiest to do this with an electric mixer until relatively lighter in colour and fluffier.
- 5. 5. Gradually beat in the eggs then fold in the sieved flour and spices. Again do this gradually, a bit at a time.
- 6. 6. Stir the dried fruit, nuts and apple into the cake mixture.
- 7. 7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared cake tin (pan) and bake for about 2 hours 30 minutes. A skewer or fine bladed knife should come out clean when it is done. If the top of the cake is browning too fast, cover it with foil for the last 15 to 20 minutes. When it's cooked, leave to cool in the cake tin.
- 8. 8. When it's cold, make holes in the cake with a skewer or fine bladed knife and use the remaining rum to pour into the cake.
- 9. 9. Wrap it in greaseproof paper then store in an airtight container. In a cool, dry place, it should keep for at least 6 weeks.
- 10. 10. You can cover with marzipan and then icing in the traditional way.
- 11. NOTE: The baking time says about 2 1/2 hours in the original recipe. Mine was done in 2 hours and that was a convection oven. Good thing I checked when I did as it had already was starting to overcook around the edges. So just be careful of the time is the only thing.
