Tropical Twist: Caramelized Pineapple Coconut Crumble Recipe

Dessert Delight: Caramelized Pineapple with Coconut Crumble

Today, I’m excited to share a unique dessert recipe that perfectly combines the sweet and tangy flavors of caramelized pineapple with a crunchy coconut crumble topping. This dish is perfect for a summer gathering or a cozy night in, and it’s sure to impress your taste buds with its unexpected twist on classic flavors.

Ingredients:

• 1 small fresh pineapple (peeled and sliced)
• 50g brown sugar
• 30ml coconut oil
• 100g all-purpose flour
• 50g shredded coconut
• 50g granulated sugar
• 50g cold butter (diced)

Kitchen Tools:

• baking dish
• skillet
• mixing bowl
• knife
• cutting board

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish. In a skillet, melt the coconut oil and brown sugar together over medium heat until it forms a caramel-like sauce. Add the pineapple slices and cook until caramelized, about 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer the pineapple slices to the prepared baking dish.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, shredded coconut, and granulated sugar. Add the cold diced butter and use your fingers to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly. Sprinkle the coconut crumble mixture over the caramelized pineapple in the baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This dessert is delicious on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.

Clever Tip:

For an extra burst of flavor, try sprinkling a pinch of sea salt over the caramelized pineapple before adding the coconut crumble. The salt will enhance the sweetness of the dish and add a delightful contrast to the crunchy topping.

I hope you enjoy making this caramelized pineapple with coconut crumble dessert as much as I do! Feel free to get creative with the recipe and make it your own by adding your favorite spices or toppings. Happy baking!
