Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple. Canned pineapple can be used, but fresh pineapple will give your icing a brighter flavor and a more vibrant color.
  • Don't overcook the pineapple. Overcooked pineapple will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Let the icing cool completely before using it. This will help it to set properly and prevent it from becoming runny.
  • If you want a thicker icing, add more powdered sugar. You can also add a little bit of cornstarch to help thicken it.
  • If you want a thinner icing, add more pineapple juice or milk. You can also add a little bit of honey or maple syrup to help thin it.
  • Flavor the icing with your favorite extracts or spices. Some popular options include vanilla extract, almond extract, and cinnamon.
  • Store the icing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Pineapple icing is a delicious and versatile topping that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are looking for a simple frosting or a more elaborate decoration, pineapple icing is a great option.
