Plummelo

Ingredients (yields servings)

• 1 cup sweet flaked coconut
• 1 box yellow cake mix
• 3 eggs
• 2 sticks butter, melted
• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons Kentucky bourbon
• 2 boxes Girl Scout Cookie Samoas, roughly chopped

Cooking Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread coconut out on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so. Coconut should be tan, not dark brown. Set aside. Grease a 9”x13” baking dish. Mix by hand the cake mix, 1 egg, and 1/2 of the melted butter. Pat this mixture into the greased dish and top with toasted coconut. In an electric mixer, blend cream cheese and remaining eggs until smooth. Gradually mix in powdered sugar and then butter, until smooth. Stir in bourbon and chopped Samoas. Pour cookie mixture over coconut. Bake for about 30 minutes, until edges are brown. The middle will still be jiggly; allow cake to sit for at least 30 minutes.
