Ingredients
1 fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, for coating
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional for extra sweetness)
Optional extras: lime zest, chili powder, chopped mint, crushed nuts
Instructions
- Cut the pineapple into bite-size 1-inch cubes and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- In a bowl, drizzle pineapple cubes with honey or maple syrup and toss gently to coat (optional).
- Place shredded coconut in a wide bowl or shallow dish. Roll each pineapple cube in the coconut, pressing lightly to help it adhere.
- Arrange coated bites on a tray and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up and meld flavors (optional).
- Transfer to a serving platter and garnish as desired. Serve chilled or at cool room temperature.
Notes
Use fresh pineapple for best flavor and texture.
Pat pineapple dry thoroughly to help coconut stick better.
Try variations like lime zest, chili powder, or crushed nuts for added flavor.
Best enjoyed within a few hours of preparation for optimal texture.
Can be made vegan by using maple syrup instead of honey.
