WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200C, gas 6. Place the drained pineapple into a roasting tin. Pour over the rum and honey and roast for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Melt the white chocolate by placing it into a heatproof glass bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure that the water doesn’t touch the bowl - or you can give it 30-second blasts in a microwave, stirring in between. Once melted, stir and leave to cool for 5 minutes.
- Dip the rim of 2 glass-handled jars or tall glasses into the melted chocolate and then into the coconut chips or desiccated coconut so that it sticks around the rim.
- Using an electric whisk, whip the cream until thick and scoop it into a piping bag fitted with a wide nozzle. Set to one side.
- For the shake, pour the rum, coconut cream, 2 scoops of ice cream and fresh pineapple with any juice into a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth.
- Put 2 scoops of coconut ice cream into each glass. Pour the piña colada shake over the ice cream in the glass until you reach the bottom of the rim.
- Pipe a swirl of double cream into the glass and keep piping until the cream reaches over the rim.
- Top the whipped cream with coconut macaroons and slices of the roasted pineapple and sprinkle over any remaining coconut chips or desiccated coconut. Serve straight away.
