Tropical Delight: Charred Pineapple with Coconut Chia Pudding

Introducing: Charred Pineapple with Coconut Chia Pudding

Today, I’m excited to share a delicious and refreshing dessert recipe that is perfect for hot summer days. This Charred Pineapple with Coconut Chia Pudding is a unique and healthy treat that combines the sweetness of caramelized pineapple with creamy coconut chia pudding. It’s a tropical flavor explosion that will leave you feeling satisfied and refreshed.

Ingredients:

• 300g fresh pineapple (peeled and cut into spears)
• 400ml coconut milk
• 50g chia seeds
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 30g coconut flakes
• fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Kitchen Tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• grill pan
• mixing bowl
• whisk

To prepare this dessert, start by grilling the pineapple spears on a grill pan until they are caramelized and slightly charred. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a pudding-like consistency.

Once the pineapple is grilled and the chia pudding is ready, layer the charred pineapple on top of the coconut chia pudding in serving bowls. Sprinkle with coconut flakes and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

This dessert is best served chilled, so you can refrigerate it for an hour before serving to let the flavors meld together. The combination of sweet and tangy pineapple with creamy coconut chia pudding is a delightful treat for any occasion.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 840g, with 4 servings of around 210g each. One serving of this Charred Pineapple with Coconut Chia Pudding is approximately 320 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on the caramelized pineapple before layering it with the coconut chia pudding. The salt enhances the sweetness of the pineapple and adds a savory depth to the dessert.

I encourage you to give this unique and flavorful dessert a try and make it your own by experimenting with different toppings or adding a touch of your favorite spices. Enjoy!
