Ingredients:
- 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)
- Prepare the Pineapple: Cut the fresh pineapple into bite-sized chunks and set aside.
- Coat the Pineapple: 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.
- Assemble the Bites: 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.
- Chill and Serve: 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.
- Enjoy: Your Coconut Pineapple Bites as a refreshing snack or dessert!
