Serves: 2, Difficulty: Expert

Ingredients

• 200 grams coconut ice cream
• 150 grams fresh cherries, pitted
• 10 grams allspice
• 200 grams fresh pineapple, diced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 10 grams sugar (granulated)
• 10 grams mint leaves, finely chopped
• 10 grams coconut flakes, for garnish

Method

• Start by pre-heating the coconut ice cream. Leave it to soften slightly for 10 minutes before serving for an optimal texture.
• In a small saucepan, combine the diced pineapple, chopped mint, and sugar. Cook on medium-low heat until the pineapple is slightly caramelized and the sugar is dissolved, around 10 minutes. Allow it to cool.
• In a small bowl, combine the cherries with the allspice and chopped rosemary, ensuring the cherries are evenly coated.
• In serving bowls, layer the caramelized pineapple mix at the bottom.
• Scoop the softened coconut ice cream on top of the pineapple layer.
• Arrange the spiced cherries around the ice cream.
• Garnish with a sprinkle of coconut flakes and a fresh mint leaf.
• Serve immediately and enjoy this Southern European-inspired dessert.

Tips

• For optimal flavor, use fresh, ripe cherries and pineapple.
• Adjust the sugar to your preference to enhance the dessert’s sweetness.
• Serve the dessert immediately after assembling to prevent the ice cream from melting.
