Ingredients
  

Fruits
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple, diced For the freshest flavor, select a ripe pineapple—it should yield slightly when pressed.
  • 2 cups strawberries, sliced
  • 2 cups bananas, sliced
Glaze
  • 1 cup coconut flakes Use unsweetened coconut flakes for a less sugary profile.
  • 1 can coconut milk (full fat)
  • 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup Adjust based on fruit sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Juice of 1 lime Adds brightness and cuts through richness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the diced pineapple, sliced strawberries, and sliced bananas to create a vibrant fruit medley.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, honey or agave syrup, vanilla extract, and lime juice until well-blended and creamy.
  3. Pour the rich coconut glaze over the fruit and gently toss to combine, ensuring every piece is coated.
  4. Sprinkle coconut flakes on top as a garnish for that tropical touch.
Chilling
  1. Chill for 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.

Notes

For an impressive presentation, serve in halved pineapples or coconut shells. This dish is ideal for summer gatherings or relaxing picnics.
