I am making a cake for someone that wants coconut cake but has no clue as to what filling. Im making another cake and I have tons of cream cheese icing so I wanted to use some of that in this cake. I was thinking about maybe a raspberry and cream cheese filling. I made it and didnt like it. Anyone have any ideas. Even non cream cheese just a yummy idea that goes with coconut cake.

Thanks icon_biggrin.gif

I second the key lime curd - it is delicious. I've made this combo several times and everyone always raves about how yummy it is.

And while I've never tried it, coconut goes really well with chocolate, so that might work, too.

I was just wondering myself if a sour cream-white chocolate filling would go with coconut cake. If you've ever had Lindt's White Chocolate-Coconut Bar. . .

My dh wants a coconut cake and I'm going to make a filling with rum flavoring. We also talked about banana, chocolate or passionfruit puree. (It's for my hubby, he gets whatever he wants! icon_lol.gif )

I made a coconut cake with passion fruit mousse. I got the passion fruit mousse recipie from Martha stewart and I bough the Goya passion fruit in the freezer section ( I also made it with fresh passion fruit but it was so exspensive and it was better with the goys) Dh LOVED IT!

hmmm... yummy!!

I would go for white or dark chocolate, passion fruit, mango, strawberry, or guava! Whenever i think of coconut, fruit always comes to mind a a great match!!
