Ingredients

  • 1 box of white cake mix
  • 2 cans full fat coconut milk I used Thai Kitchen brand
  • 4 egg whites beaten
  • 1/2 c. coconut oil
  • 1/2 c. shredded coconut
  • 1 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 pineapple
  • 2 apples
  • 2 mangoes
  • 1 cantaloupe

Instructions

  • Place two cans of full-fat coconut milk in the refrigerator over night upside down. This allows the coconut fat to separate from the milk.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • After the cans of coconut milk have chilled, turn them upright and open. Pour 1 1/4 cups of the coconut water into a large mixing bowl. Discard the remaining coconut water and set the coconut cream back in the refrigerator.
  • To the large bowl, add the egg whites and cake mix. Melt the coconut oil in the microwave for 10-20 seconds, or just until in a liquid state. Add to the cake mix and beat until the mixture is smooth.
  • Scoop the cake batter into 24 lined cupcake tins. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean. Set the cupcakes on a wire rack, allowing them to cool.
  • Meanwhile, scoop the coconut fat out of the cans and add it to a medium mixing bowl along with the honey and vanilla. Beat on high for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture is light and fluffy. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag and return to the refrigerator.
  • Pipe a generous layer of coconut cream on the top of each cupcake. Dip the tops into a small bowl of the shredded coconut, being sure to coat all sides of the coconut cream.
  • Using a small paring knife, make a 1 1/2 inch deep slit in the top center of each cupcake.
  • Attach the eyes and nose with the small tubes of icing included in the kit and make a mouth using the large bag of pink frosting.
  • Cut your variety of fruit into 1/4" thick slices with a minimum of a 3" diameter. Using the included cookie cutter, press firmly on the fruit to create the ears for the bunny.
  • Insert the ears into the slit on the tops of the cupcakes right before serving. Using the pink icing, add the inside ear detail. Serve immediately!
