Coconut Pineapple Bites are a tropical treat that combines the sweet, tangy flavor of fresh pineapple with a crispy coconut coating, drizzled with coconut milk and condensed milk for an indulgent finish.

Ingredients

1 fresh pineapple, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1/4 cup coconut milk

1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes, for garnish

1/4 cup powdered sugar, for dusting

Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Cut the fresh pineapple into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.
  2. In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and shredded coconut to create a breading station.
  3. Dip each pineapple piece in the flour, then the eggs, and finally coat in the shredded coconut.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to approximately 350°F (175°C).
  5. Fry the coated pineapple pieces in batches until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side, then drain on paper towels.
  6. Mix the coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk in a small bowl and drizzle over the fried pineapple pieces.
  7. Sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes and powdered sugar, then serve warm for the best taste.

Notes

  • For a healthier version, you can bake the coated pineapple pieces at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes instead of frying.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the flour mixture before coating the pineapple pieces.
  • To make it vegan, use plant-based milk and a flax egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water) to replace the eggs and condensed milk.
  • If you prefer a chocolate-coconut combination, drizzle melted chocolate over the fried pineapple.
  • These bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated by baking them at 350°F (175°C) for about 5–7 minutes.
  • If you have leftover coconut milk and condensed milk drizzle, you can store it in the fridge for future use.
