Made this on the recommendation of the reviews. It's good, but I did make some changes based on what I had available, and how it originally turned out. Used croissants instead of Hawaiian bread. Added full can of pineapple and juice and a full 14.5 ounce can of coconut milk to make up for no coconut-pineapple nectar. Used Harry & David's diced fruit medley and followed the rest of the ingredients. Turned out a little bland for me. But with the leftovers I added minced crystallized ginger, vanilla, and grated nutmeg. I also added microwave toasted coconut and sprinkled it on top (be careful to cook for 20-30 seconds at a time and stir in between each cooking so you don't burn it!). Much better. Think I'll try caramelized macadamia nuts on top next time! And maybe mince a bit of Thai chili to give it a little kick!
