Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen pineapple for the best flavor. If using frozen pineapple, thaw it completely before using.
  • If you don't have sweetened condensed milk, you can make your own by simmering one cup of milk and one cup of sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the coconut-pineapple filling. It should be thick and bubbly, but not too thick or dry.
  • For a sweeter filling, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the coconut-pineapple mixture.
  • For a more tropical flavor, add a teaspoon of rum or coconut extract to the coconut-pineapple mixture.
  • Serve the coconut-pineapple bars warm or at room temperature. They can also be chilled for a refreshing treat.

Conclusion:

These coconut-pineapple bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion.
