CARAMELIZED PINEAPPLE SUNDAES WITH COCONUT
This dessert treat uses fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt, but you could substitute vanilla ice cream if you prefer. The flavors of coconut and the carmelized pineapple create a delicious topping. This is best when fresh pineapple is used. Sometimes you can find already peeled and cored pineapple in the produce department. From Food & Wine.

Tips:
- To select the best pineapple, pick one that is heavy for its size and has a sweet smell.
- For a deeper caramelized flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
- Be sure to watch the pineapple closely while it is caramelizing, as it can burn easily.
- To make the coconut sauce ahead of time, simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- These sundaes can be made ahead of time and assembled just before serving.
