Frozen Mojito Cake Tails No Bake Dessert Food

FROZEN MOJITO CAKE-TAILS (NO BAKE DESSERT)

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
• Stir in the pretzels and 2 tablespoons sugar and cook until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer to a bowl to cool slightly.
• Press about 2 tablespoons into the bottom of each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan.
• Freeze for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl, until fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
• Mix in the remaining 1 1/4 cups sugar on low speed, then gradually mix in the lime peel, lime juice, rum and chopped mint.
• In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
• Fold into cream cheese mixture.
• Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly among the muffin cups; smooth over tops.
• Cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight.
• To serve, run a wet knife around each cake, then invert the pan onto a clean work surface.
• Set each cake upright and top with mint sprig.

LARRY'S MOJITO CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.
• Spray a 13×9 inch metal pan with cooking spray.
• If you use a Pyrex dish, reduce the heat to 325ºF.
• You can also use a 15×10 inch pan, which is what Larry uses.
• In a mixing bowl, stir together the pineapple, lime juice, rum, and angel food cake mix.
• Pour the mixture into the pan and bake it using the following cook times - 18-24 minutes for a 15×10 inch pan or about 25 minutes for a 13×9 inch pan.
• Let cool completely in pan.
• In mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and limeade concentrate.
• Check for sweetness.
• Add sugar if you feel you need it - I used 4 tablespoons.
• Beat in rum extract and rum, if using,, then fold in Cool Whip Lite.
• Spread over cooled cake.
• Sprinkle with coconut and lime zest.
• Top each serving with mint leaves.
• Larry says, "One last thing. It's fairly low fat. You could get away with using Cool Whip Free rather than Cool Whip Lite, but I personally would not trade out the low fat cream cheese for fat free because the texture would not be as smooth.".
