July/August: Fresh Pineapple with Sweet Coconut Cream
Serves 2 to 4
Pineapple is a cooling fruit with a high water content, making it an ideal treat on steamy summer days. The coconut cream recipe is simple and unbelievably delicious (and it can be made in advance). This dish makes an elegant dessert with minimal effort! Agave nectar is a natural, low–glycemic index sweetener available in natural foods stores.
1 fresh pineapple
1/2 cup coconut milk
agave nectar to taste
shredded coconut and whole mint leaves for garnish
Slice the pineapple into chunks and set aside. In a separate small bowl, combine the coconut milk and agave nectar to taste. Whisk to combine and chill, if desired, before spooning over the pineapple. Top with shredded coconut and whole mint leaves.
