Indulge your taste buds with this easy 5-ingredient summer dessert that's sure to be a hit with the whole family. Follow these simple steps to create a refreshing Coconut Pineapple Delight:
Ingredients
- 600ml thickened cream
- 315g caster sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tsp coconut essence
- 1/2 pineapple, peeled, cored, chopped, plus extra wedges for serving
Method
- Prepare the Cream Mixture: In a saucepan, combine 600ml thickened cream, 315g caster sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk over low heat until the sugar dissolves, taking care not to let the mixture boil. Stir in 2 tsp of coconut essence.
- Chill the Mixture: Transfer the cream mixture to a large bowl and set it aside, stirring occasionally, until cooled slightly. Place the bowl in the fridge for 3 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
- Freeze the Cream Mixture: Use electric beaters to whip the cream mixture until soft peaks form. Transfer the whipped mixture to an airtight, freezer-proof container, seal, and place it in the freezer for 5 hours or until frozen.
- Prepare the Pineapple Drizzle: While the cream mixture is freezing, process the chopped pineapple in a food processor until smooth. Transfer the puree to a bowl, cover, and store it in the fridge until needed.
- Assemble and Serve: Place the frozen cream mixture in a piping bag fitted with a 1.3mm star nozzle. Pipe the frozen delight into serving glasses, drizzle the pineapple puree over the top, and garnish with extra pineapple wedges. Serve immediately for a cool and delightful summer treat.
This Coconut Pineapple Delight is not only a breeze to make but also a perfect balance of creamy and fruity flavors.
