Maple Grilled Pineapple Rings With Frozen Yogurt And Granola Recipes

FROZEN PINEAPPLE TREAT

Steps:

• Slice the pineapple in half lengthwise, leaving the greens attached. Use a paring knife to cut away the fruit and core from both halves of the pineapple, leaving a thin border of fruit intact to make 2 pineapple boats. Cut the fruit into chunks and set aside. Place the pineapple boats in the freezer until you are ready to serve.
• Peel the banana and cut into chunks. Place the pineapple and banana chunks on a parchment-lined baking sheet or dish and freeze until frozen, about 4 hours.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the frozen fruit and cream of coconut. Pulse until the mixture forms a thick paste, about 3 minutes. Gradually drizzle in 1/2 cup water, pulsing, until the consistency of soft serve is reached.
• Scoop the soft serve into the frozen pineapple halves and garnish each with maraschino cherries and a small bottle of rum if desired. Serve immediately.

FLASH FRIED PINEAPPLE, BANNANA, AND KIWI WITH MARSHMALLOW, CHOCOLATE, AND GRANOLA

Steps:

• Cut pineapple in 1/2 lengthwise. Carve 1 half out reserving for "bowl" that the fruit will go into after frying. Remove the skin and core from the other half and cut into long spears.
• Prepare the banana by peeling and cutting in half long ways.
• Prepare kiwi by skinning and cutting in 1/2.
• Heat fryer or fryer oil to 350 degrees F.
• To prepare batter, combine eggs, cream, vanilla, and cinnamon. Whisk until well blended. Coat fruit in batter, and then roll fruit in bread crumbs.
• Add the coated fruit to the hot oil, in batches, and fry until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on a paper towel lined plate.
• Place hollowed pineapple on plate, put fried fruit back in the pineapple, drizzle syrup on plate to dip along with mini marshmallows and granola.
