Coconut Pineapple Bites Recipe

4.7 from 30 reviews

These Coconut Pineapple Bites are a delightful tropical treat that combines the sweetness of fresh pineapple with the crunch of shredded coconut. Perfect for a refreshing snack or a light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Pineapple:

  • 1 medium fresh pineapple, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks

Coconut Mixture:

  • 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)

Garnish:

  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pineapple: Cut the fresh pineapple into bite-sized chunks and set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Notes

  • You can customize the sweetness of these bites by adjusting the amount of honey or maple syrup used.
  • For a dairy-free version, you can omit the Greek yogurt or use a dairy-free alternative.
