PINEAPPLE & COCONUT ICE WITH POACHED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Prepare Ahead: Peel the large pineapple and cut in half, then into quarters down length, then cut out and discard the central core. Roughly chop then whizz in a food processor until it forms a rough purée. Tip into a bowl and stir in the lime juice, sugar and coconut cream. Put the bowl in the freezer for 2-3 hours until set about 3cm/1in in from the edges, then remove and whisk to break down the large ice crystals. Freeze for a further 1-2 hours until firm.
• Meanwhile, peel the medium pineapple and thinly slice. Tip the sugar, cinnamon and 2 tablespoons water into a pan. Gently heat until the sugar has dissolved, then boil until it forms a light syrup. Add the pineapple and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning them, until they start to intensify in colour, remove from the heat and cool.
• On the day: half an hour before serving, transfer the ice to the fridge. Serve with the pineapple and scatter with mint leaves and cinnamon from the poaching liquid.

PINEAPPLE SOFT SERVE WITH SPICY CANDIED COCONUT

Steps:

• For the candied coconut: In a dry skillet or saucepan, toast the coconut over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the flakes are mostly golden in color. Remove from the heat and immediately add the chili powder, agave nectar and salt. Stir until the mixture is combined, then let the coconut cool completely before transferring to a bowl.
• For the pineapple soft serve: In a food processor or blender, combine the frozen pineapple, coconut milk, agave, lime juice and salt and pulse until the pineapple is finely chopped. Then process or blend, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl/jar as needed, until smooth and airy, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately or transfer to a resealable top plastic bag and freeze until just firm, about 20 minutes. Trim off the corner of the plastic bag and pipe the mixture into serving bowls, soft serve-style. Garnish with the candied coconut and a float of dark rum if desired (and 21+).

FRESH PINEAPPLE ICE

Steps:

• Combine water, sugar and pineapple in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir, remove from heat and let cool. Process in a food processor to a rough puree. Transfer to a shallow baking dish and freeze until hard, 4 to 5 hours. Just before serving, chop the ice into fine chunks with a fork or ice pick. Serve in large goblets.
