STRAWBERRY MANGO POUND CAKE SHORTCAKES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss the mango and strawberries with the lime juice, sugar and lime zest. Let sit, tossing occasionally, until the fruit is very juicy, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• When the fruit is ready, slice the pound cake into 12 equal pieces. Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Sprinkle half the coconut in 6 small piles in the skillet and place a slice of pound cake over each pile of coconut. Cook, pressing down with a spatula, until the coconut is toasted and the pound cake is warmed, about 3 minutes. Flip and toast on the second side of the pound cake slices until warmed, about 1 minute more. Transfer each slice to a plate, scrape out any leftover coconut in the skillet so it does not burn and repeat with the remaining butter, coconut and pound cake slices.
• To assemble, evenly divide the fruit with the accumulated juices among 6 slices of toasted pound cake. Top with a large scoop of ice cream, about 1/2 cup each, and a second slice of pound cake.

PEACH-MANGO SHORTCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Make the shortcakes: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, allspice, ginger, nutmeg and salt in a food processor. Pulse in the butter until it is in pea-size pieces, then pulse in the heavy cream and egg until the dough comes together.
• Bake the shortcakes: Drop 6 scoops of dough onto a baking sheet, brush with heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool, then split in half.
• Make the filling: Toss the peaches and mango with the granulated sugar and lime juice. Beat the heavy cream with the confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form; fold in the rum and vanilla. Fill the shortcakes with the fruit and whipped cream.

SUMMERY LIME-MANGO SHORTCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Combine mango, blueberries, and strawberries in a large bowl. Drizzle with lime juice and honey; mix well. Cover; reserve in refrigerator.
• Sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a large heatproof glass or metal bowl. Let soak for 5 minutes. Place bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring often until dissolved. Transfer to a small bowl; refrigerate until cool, about 10 minutes. Beat cream in the large bowl with an electric mixer. When cream begins to thicken, sprinkle in confectioners' sugar and coconut extract. Mix in cooled gelatin all at once. Whip until soft peaks form. Cover and refrigerate.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, white sugar, lime zest, poppy seeds, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the shortening with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat the egg and buttermilk in a small bowl, lightly stir into flour mixture just until moistened. Turn out onto a floured work surface; knead 3 to 4 times, or until dough just comes together. Roll to 1/2 inch thickness; cut with a 3 inch round biscuit cutter. Place on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake shortcakes in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 to 18 minutes. Allow to cool slightly; split each cake in half horizontally.
• To assemble, arrange fruit on the bottom half of each cake. Spoon or pipe cream evenly over fruit. Top each with remaining biscuit halves.
