Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium fresh pineapple, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
- 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, based on preference)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Cut the fresh pineapple into bite-sized chunks and set aside.
- In a bowl, mix the shredded coconut with Greek yogurt and honey (if using) until well combined. If you prefer a lighter version, you can skip the yogurt and honey.
- Using your hands or a fork, coat each pineapple chunk in the coconut mixture, ensuring they are fully covered. You can also simply roll the pineapple chunks in the shredded coconut if you prefer a more straightforward method.
- Place the coated pineapple bites on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the bites to firm up. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired before serving.
Notes
- These bites can be served as a refreshing snack or sweet dessert.
- Feel free to customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of honey or maple syrup.
- For a vegan option, skip the Greek yogurt or use a plant-based yogurt alternative.
