Pineapple Coconut Ice With Poached Pineapple Recipes

PINEAPPLE-COCONUT ICE POPS

Steps:

• Combine pineapple, yogurt, coconut milk, and vanilla in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into ice pop molds and freeze until completely frozen, 4 to 6 hours.

FRESH PINEAPPLE ICE

Steps:

• Combine water, sugar and pineapple in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir, remove from heat and let cool. Process in a food processor to a rough puree. Transfer to a shallow baking dish and freeze until hard, 4 to 5 hours. Just before serving, chop the ice into fine chunks with a fork or ice pick. Serve in large goblets.

CRUSHED PINEAPPLE AND COCONUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Spread pecans and coconut onto a baking sheet.
• Toast in the preheated oven until coconut is very light golden brown and pecans become fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool, about 10 minutes. Leave the oven on.
• Pulse oats in a blender or food processor until slightly ground.
• Mix brown sugar, white sugar, and butter together in a bowl. Add pineapple, egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
• Mix oats, flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl; mix into the wet ingredients. Stir in toasted coconut and pecans. Drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheets for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

FRESH PINEAPPLE POACHED IN CINNAMON SYRUP

Steps:

• Stir 1 1/2 cups water, sugar, cinnamon sticks, ginger and lemon in heavy large pot over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring syrup to boil; cover and simmer 10 minutes to blend flavors. Add pineapple and simmer until pineapple is just translucent, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes. Transfer pineapple and syrup to bowl. Refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)

COCONUT & PINEAPPLE COOLER

Steps:

• Put 50ml coconut rum, 100ml pineapple juice, 25ml gin and 50ml cold water into each jam jar.
• Stir, then garnish each one with a piece of watermelon and a couple of coriander sprigs, squeezing the leaves a little bit first before dropping them into the jars to help release the flavour. Screw on the lids and chill or set in ice buckets until needed - they will keep well for 4-6 hrs.
