White Chocolate Ackee Mousse Cake

Last week I shared my ackee hot chocolate recipe and earlier this year easy ackee muffins with toasted coconut and white chocolate. I love ackee and white chocolate together, it’s just so good!

Some of my other favourite flavours to combine ackee with for sweet treats are coconut, almond, caramel, maple syrup, honey, Jamaican allspice (pimento) and brown butter (See this recipe for Brown Butter Ackee Bread with Walnuts *swoons* 😍).

But I digress, this is about creamy white chocolate ackee mousse atop a toasted cashew sponge with white chocolate glaze and candied cashews 😊. First featured exclusively in Issue 1, 2017 of Jamaican Eats Magazine (click here to it out), you can find the all recipes needed to put together this colourful little showstopper.
