Ingredients

  • large pineapple ripe
  • 100 brown sugar 
  • 500 yogurt sweetened whole thick (we used Müller and Creamy Yogurt)
  • sprigs coconut or 

Equipment

  • food processor
  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • ladle
  • sieve
  • blender

Directions

  1. Cut the skin off the pineapple, then cut it lengthways into quarters and remove the core from each piece. Chop the flesh roughly and pure in a food processor or blender until creamy.
  2. Pour the pure into a large sieve set over a bowl, and leave to drain in the fridge overnight. Do not stir.
  3. Next day, pour the juice from the bowl into a freezerproof container. Freeze until solid (at least 4 hours).
  4. Now caramelise the flesh. At this stage, in the restaurant, we rub the flesh through a sieve with the back of a ladle to make it very creamy. Its not vital, but it makes this dessert extra-special. Tip the sugar into a medium-sized frying pan and stir in 2 tbsp cold water. Stand for 5 minutes before heating slowly over a gentle heat, shaking the pan until the sugar dissolves into a clear syrup. When all the crystals have dissolved, raise the heat and cook to a medium golden colour. Tip in the pineapple flesh and cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until flavoured and slightly reduced.
  5. Remove and cool, then keep in a covered container in the fridge until ready to serve (The pure will keep for up to 2 days.)
  6. When the pineapple juice has frozen, scrape it into icy shavings using a large metal spoon.
  7. Place in another container and keep frozen until ready to serve.
  8. To serve, divide the pure between 8 shot or small wine glasses and top with yogurt. (They can be chilled for up to 4 hours at this point.)
  9. Remove the shavings from the freezer and spoon over the yogurt. Top each glass with a Frosted coriander sprig and serve with Coconut tuiles.
