Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
When I was in Mexico, I tried a simple sweet and spicy dessert - chunks of pineapple sprinkled with dried chili flakes and salt, and drizzled with limes. A pineapple can be prepared for a complicated dessert or for something as simple as fruit salad.
This exquisite tropical fruit can be grilled or roasted. Recently, I tried Martha Stewart's recipe for grilled pineapple with coconut sorbet. It's the perfect antidote to the cold wintry weather. Pineapples work well in desserts due to its unique tropical sweetness and its bright yellow color. I'll never forget the light fluffy cake toppled with pineapples that I tried last May at Pierre Hermé in Paris.
Below are 8 recipes for pineapple desserts:
- Chilled Pineapple Mousse with Pistachios
- Roasted Pineapple with Star Anise Pineapple Sorbet
- Caramelized-Pineapple Baked Alaskas
- Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
- Pineapple-Coconut Napoleons with Mascarpone Cream and Pineapple Syrup
- Carrot and Pineapple Cake
- Roasted Pineapple Milkshake
- Coconut Ice Cream with Warm Rum Glazed Pineapple

The first is a "Pina Colada Flan" (where I use cream of coconut instead of dairy cream on the batter) and top it with chunks of fresh pineapple.
The second is my "Tropical Trifle" where I build a trifle out of layers of yellow sponge cake moistened with sweet dark rum, whipped heavy cream infused with pineapple juice, chunks of fresh pineapple, thin layers of guava paste and shaved coconut. SPECTACULAR!!!

Javier's pina colada flan sounds like just the ticket though! I will definitely be making that!
