FROZEN PINEAPPLE TREAT
Steps:
- Slice the pineapple in half lengthwise, leaving the greens attached. Use a paring knife to cut away the fruit and core from both halves of the pineapple, leaving a thin border of fruit intact to make 2 pineapple boats. Cut the fruit into chunks and set aside. Place the pineapple boats in the freezer until you are ready to serve.
- Peel the banana and cut into chunks. Place the pineapple and banana chunks on a parchment-lined baking sheet or dish and freeze until frozen, about 4 hours.
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the frozen fruit and cream of coconut. Pulse until the mixture forms a thick paste, about 3 minutes. Gradually drizzle in 1/2 cup water, pulsing, until the consistency of soft serve is reached.
- Scoop the soft serve into the frozen pineapple halves and garnish each with maraschino cherries and a small bottle of rum if desired. Serve immediately.
