Do you like Piña colada? This sweet Caribbean fruit drink is made with coconut cream, pineapple juice and rum. It is served with ice, pineapple pieces and lemon slices. Coconut and pineapple are an excellent couple not only in drinks. They are also great together in cakes and salads.
Today, inspired by the recipes from the book "Zielone koktajle. 365 przepisów" ("Green cocktails. 365 recipes") I prepared a light coconut-pineapple dessert. You may make it without sugar if you have enough sweet fruit. If your pineapple isn't very ripe, add a bit of honey to your dessert.
Ingredients (for 4 people)
fruit mousse
1 pineapple
300ml of coconut milk
1 banana
150ml of orange juice
2 tablespoons of desiccated coconut
decoration
50g of butter
1 tablespoon of caster sugar
4 tablespoons of desiccated coconut
4 slices of orange
fruit
Blend all the ingredients of the fruit mousse. Put it into some glasses and leave in the fridge. Put the desiccated coconut, sugar and butter into a pan. Fry constantly, stirring on a low heat until the butter is melted. Leave to cool down a bit. Put 2-3 tablespoons of it on top of the desserts. Decorate with a slice of orange, fruit and some peppermint leaves before serving.
Enjoy your meal!
