WOULD YOU EAT THIS TROPICAL DELIGHT 🍍 Fried Pineapple with Coconut Crust 🥥?

Treat your taste buds to a tropical escape! Perfect for family gatherings or a sweet end to a busy day.

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 (10-oz.) bag sweetened coconut
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 8 pineapple rings
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Soak the pineapple rings in pineapple juice in a medium bowl for at least 1 hour. Once soaked, drain and use paper towels to dry the rings thoroughly.
2. For the coating, arrange three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with coconut milk, and another with sweetened coconut.
3. Coat each pineapple ring by first dredging in flour, then dipping in the egg mixture, and finally pressing into the coconut to coat evenly.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Fry the pineapple rings in the hot oil until they are golden, about 1 minute per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. For the dipping sauce, mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and thin with coconut milk as needed to reach the desired consistency.
6. Serve the warm fried pineapple rings with the creamy coconut dipping sauce.
