PREPARATION

  • Drizzle Coconut Cream: Pour the coconut cream over the pineapple chunks. The rich, creamy texture perfectly complements the juicy, sweet pineapple.

TIPS

These tips are followed for the preparation of Pineapple with Coconut Cream:

  • Use Chilled Pineapple: For a refreshing summer dessert, chill the pineapple chunks before preparing. This enhances the dish’s cooling effect, perfect for hot days.
  • Choose High-Quality Coconut Cream: Opt for a full-fat coconut cream for a richer, creamier texture. Low-fat versions may not offer the same indulgent feel.
  • Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the honey or agave syrup or omit it altogether.
  • Mix The Coconut Cream Well: Sometimes coconut cream can separate. Stir it thoroughly before drizzling to ensure a smooth and consistent texture.

VARIATIONS

  • Vegan Option: Use agave syrup instead of honey to make this recipe fully vegan.
  • Add Texture: For a crunchier texture, sprinkle toasted almonds, macadamia nuts, or a bit of granola on top.
  • Tropical Twist: Add a few slices of banana or mango to the pineapple for a mixed tropical fruit bowl.
  • Lime Zest: For an extra zing, sprinkle some freshly grated lime zest over the top for a burst of citrus freshness.
  • Chocolate Drizzle: Add a touch of indulgence by drizzling some melted dark chocolate over the dish for a pineapple-chocolate-coconut fusion.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • In The Fridge: Store any leftover pineapple with coconut cream in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The dish may become slightly watery as the pineapple releases juice, so it’s best served fresh.
  • Freezing: It is not recommended to freeze this dish as the texture of the coconut cream and pineapple will change when thawed.
