Both are leftovers.

What to do? What to do?

Consume with joy.

Depending how much, it may take me a take a couple of days.

Cheers, h.

Soak fruitcake in coffee liqueur. Now you just have one leftover.

Fruitcake, homemade or store bought? Store bought, toss it! Homemade, make french toast out of it. Coffee liqueur - here in Maine people drink it with milk. I personally think it's gross. However, homemade ice cream made from coffee liqueur is fantastic.

Yik.... keep away from both of them!

coffee liquor also makes good topping for ice cream or add it to actual coffee or make martinis out of it...either a plain espresso martini, or something fancy like a chocolate caramel mocha martini, depending on what other items you have laying around...

One can use coffee liqueur to make tiramisu, but that would make things worse, wouldn't it?

I got the coffee liqueur so she could make cheesecake. That was quite excellent. I'd be confident of success in a tiramisu.

It's a worthwhile endeavor, and will amaze and delight your friends (if you choose to share ). I like making it with homemade sponge cake rather than ladyfingers, personally. Don't stint on the mascarpone, whipped cream, or other yum-ness!

250g of Mascarpone cost $7 and heavy shipping cream $6/litre where I stay. Goes without saying that I don't eat tiramisu very often. which is a good thing.
I have also never had fruitcake OP. But I am curious to see what you'll end up doing. The soak fruitcake in liqueur suggestion seems to make sense though

Here's Mom's fruitcake recipe, which is quite good, and I need to make for Saturday, so am glad this thread prompted me to find it.

Looks like it made 6 mini loaves.
