# Ingredients:
→ Pineapple Prep
01 -
8 rings of fresh pineapple
02 -
1 cup of coconut rum
03 -
1 cup of dark rum
→ Outer Layer
04 -
1 (10 oz) package sweetened coconut flakes
05 -
1 and 1/2 cups plain flour
06 -
2 large eggs
07 -
1/2 cup coconut milk
08 -
Vegetable oil for frying
→ Dipping Sauce
09 -
4 oz softened cream cheese
10 -
1/2 cup powdered sugar
# Steps:
01 -
Toss the pineapple rings in a bowl with both rums poured over. Let them sit for an hour or more, drain while saving the rum, then pat them dry.
02 -
Gather three bowls: fill one with flour, another with coconut flakes, and beat the eggs together with coconut milk in the third.
03 -
Take each pineapple ring, cover it lightly with flour, then dip into the egg-milk mix, and finish by firmly pressing on the coconut flakes so they stick well.
04 -
Heat oil to 350°F. Fry each pineapple ring for around 1 minute on each side until they’re golden and crispy, then set on paper towels to drain.
05 -
Combine powdered sugar and cream cheese until there are no lumps. Add in 2 tablespoons of saved rum for flavor, and mix smooth. Throw in a little extra rum if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
Oil that’s not hot enough can make your pineapple soggy.
02 -
Switch to gluten-free flour if you need an alternative.
03 -
If you’re out of coconut milk, almond milk works just fine!
