Pineapple Soft Serve With Spicy Candied Coconut Recipes

Steps:

• Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the pineapple drink mix, sugar and gelatin powder until completely dissolved. Pour into a medium bowl set over a large bowl of ice water and let sit until cold, about 5 minutes.
• Puree the pineapple chunks and their syrup in a food processor or blender until smooth and frothy, about 2 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing with a rubber spatula (discard the pulp). Stir the strained liquid into the gelatin mixture.
• Transfer the pineapple-gelatin mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions until it is the consistency of soft-serve ice cream, 1 to 1 1/2 hours (stop the machine halfway through and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula). Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 1-inch star tip and pipe into cups. Alternatively, scrape into a plastic container and freeze until firm, then scoop.

Steps:

• Freeze 4 small glasses or ramekins until cold. Put the coconut milk, ice water, vanilla and a pinch of salt in a blender. Add the pineapple and blend, stirring as necessary, until smooth. Working quickly, spoon the soft serve into a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip and pipe it into the cold cups. Serve immediately.
