Beautiful recipe which leaves you wanting more but makes such a big lot, that you can (if you are quick before the family notices). We added fresh mango as well to this easy dessert.

Oh seasonal Mango! Sounds awesome Lisa!

This was such an interesting, yummy dessert. The flavours of the pineapple and lime are really fresh and the crunch of the macadamia nuts really compliment. Felt like I was on a tropical island. Recommend!
