Chopped Pineapple Recipes for Desserts

Pineapples taste wonderful in desserts due to their sweet and sour taste. They give a unique taste to every dessert they are added to because they are juicy.

Layered Fruit, White Chocolate and Coconut Biscuit Dessert – as the name itself suggests, this dessert has multiple layers, each complementing the other. The tangy and peppy fruits form the first layer and cut through the sweetness of the white chocolate. The desiccated coconut and chopped nuts add a different texture as well.

Pineapple Sundae – This dessert doesn’t use any other fruit other than pineapple, making it the hero if the dish. It combines pineapple in different ways – jellies, fresh, puree and biscuit- and serve it with ice-cream to make one big ice cream sundae. 

Pineapple Jam filled bread tarts - Melt in mouth bread tartlets, filled with a fruity pineapple jam, is every kids dream come true! Adding crushed digestive biscuits to the pineapple jam mixture is another master stroke.

Innovative Chopped Pineapple Recipes

Pineapples have been used not only in sweet but also in savory recipes for quite some time now. Coconut Pineapple Curry is a curry where two contrasting flavors – Coconut and pineapple – get along beautifully together! Other spices like ginger are added for a tongue tickling twist. Another new way to use pineapples is to add them to a Papdi, potato and chickpea chaat. Pineapples add a juicy, sweet flavor in contrast to the salty chaat.

Coconut Pineapple Curry

Combine two unusual ingredients – Pineapple and Cheese – with a little sprinkling of black pepper and grill it between bread slices for the perfect salty-sweet Pineapple and Cheese Grilled Sandwich.

Health Benefits of Pineapples

½ cup of chopped pineapple contains 2.3 grams of fiber and being a natural laxative helps in keeping your bowel movements smooth and regular. It also helps you feel satiated for a longer period of time which eventually decreases your entire calorie intake in a day. However, it is always better to have fresh pineapple. Pineapple has a low glycemic load of about 5 and should be eaten in moderation by diabetics.
