For a spicier flavor, add a pinch of ground nutmeg or cloves to the dough. Toasted pecans can be substituted for walnuts. Ensure the butter and cream cheese are properly softened for a smooth frosting. If the frosting is too thick, add a little more pineapple juice, a teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
