“This is my kind of dessert – in the words of Abigail Donnelly, it’s a really fancy fruit salad! But don’t skip the step of marinating the fruit; that’s what makes this recipe so special.” – Hannah Lewry

Ingredients

Method
  • 1 medium pineapple
  • 3 limes, zested and juiced
  • 10 g mint
  • 300 g mango, chopped and frozen
  • 20 g coconut flakes , toasted

Method

Ingredients

1. Peel the pineapple, removing all the spines. Slice into paper-thin rounds.

2. Place the pineapple flat in a large Ziploc bag and pour over the juice and zest of 2 limes. Seal the bag. This will infuse the pineapple with lime and allow for maximum flavour. Chill for a few hours.

3. Place the frozen mango and the juice and zest of the remaining lime in a food processor and process until smooth. Scoop out immediately and serve with the compressed pineapple, fresh mint and toasted coconut.
