Roast Pineapple with Coconut Rum Yoghurt

November 17, 2021

The ultimate summer dessert after a big day at the beach, this warm, sticky, juicy-sweet treat is best shared straight from the pan. Serve with a generous dollop of your fave vanilla ice-cream and skip the rum & chilli if cooking for kids. For adults - opt for either the rum-coconut-cream or rum coconut yoghurt.

NOTE: You can also bake the pineapple sliced rather than whole especially if you are not a fan of the core.
