Pineapple and Coconut Fool Recipe
A healthy version of a traditional Fool dessert with coconut and pineapple.
Ingredients
- 1 medium pineapple peeled cored and diced fine ( 3-4 cups)
- 2-3 tablespoon coconut sugar
- juice of 1 small lime
- 1 cup whipped cream full fat heavy cream OR full fat coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 teaspoon coconut sugar
- Toasted coconut flakes
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat combine the pineapple, coconut sugar and lime and simmer until slightly thickened, almost jam like, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely then chill in an airtight container. The mixture will thicken up more once chilled. About 2 hours for chill time.
- When ready to serve prepare the whipped cream. Either using full fat heavy cream or coconut cream* whip until thickened, add in the vanilla and sweeten with coconut sugar until desired sweetness level is reached.
- In parfait glasses or bowls layer the cream and pineapple mixture. Top with toasted coconut flakes and serve.
Notes
If using coconut milk/cream to make coconut whipped cream use FULL FAT from the can, do not use carton coconut milk. Try to find the kind without thickeners such as guar gum in it or else they wont whip and get thick. Chill in the fridge at least 24 hours. Pour off the liquid and scoop out the thick cream. Whip like you would with dairy whipping cream. It wont be as thick and fluffy, but it still works well.
