Description:

Enjoy as a snack, or, dress it up for a dessert with thinly sliced pineapple.

Ingredients:

• 1 pineapple
• 3/4 cup caster sugar
• 1 tsp rum essence
• 220 ml coconut milk

Method:

1. Using a large sharp knife, cut 1 pineapple in half, then cut into thick slices,
2. Using a small sharp serrated knife, remove skin and tough centre.
3. Cut pineapple into chunks and combine with caster sugar. Set aside 10 minutes (see Tip).
4. Blend pineapple mixture with rum essence and coconut milk. Pour into freezer container or lunchbox and freeze 6 hours.
5. Turn out of container and, using a large sharp knife, cut into slices or spears and serve at once.

Tip: Combining fruit with sugar – and allowing it to stand 10 minutes – allows juices to be given off, thus making blending easier.

* Kids will need adult supervision using a blender.
