Pineapple coconut pleasure

Somehow I am doing a lot of food posts lately. (Shout out to Danielle.)

When we were visiting Carlos and Dü we grated up a dessert that will stay with me for a long time. Super simple. Delicious. Natural. No added sugar.


Check it out. Here is how to make it.

Go buy a super-ripe pineapple (or two) off the back of a truck parked on the side of the road.

Collect a ripe and ready coconut from the tree in your backyard.

After you have torn through the husk of the coconut to get to the fruit, and have drained it of any water that may remain, slam that puppy against the cement patio to bust open the shell. You want the white meat inside the shell.


Shave off the coarse skin of the chipped-out coconut meat. Then finely grate the meat.


Slice off the outer prickly skin of the pineapple(s). Chop the pineapple into bits about the size of the tip of your thumb. Then simply mix together the pineapple and the shredded coconut. OMG! So simple. So delicious.


You have to try this!

LOL...I love it! My version will be "order some sliced pineapple and some shredded coconut from the fruit guy, then cut the pineapple into smaller chunks and mix well." Pretty sure it will still work, although I love how you included the very Brazil versions of "buy from the pineapple trunk" and "pick the coconut" -- too fun!!

Sounds delicious!
