Cold Desserts Recipes - Iced Pineapple Crush

 

Ingredients

  • 2 small pineapples

  • 450g/1lb strawberries

  • 400g/14oz can lychees

  • 45ml/3 tbsp kirsch or white rum

  • 30ml/2 tbsp icing sugar


Method:

  1. Remove the crown from both pineapples by cutting around the tip and twisting sharply. Reserve the leaves fro decoration.

  2. Cut the pineapple in half diagonally with a large serrated knife

  3. Cut around the flesh inside the skin with a small serrated knife, keeping the skin intact. Remove the core from the pineapples.

  4. Chop the pineapples and combine with the strawberries and lychees, taking care not to damage the fruit.

  5. Combine the kirsch or rum with the icing sugar, pour over the fruit and freeze for 45 minutes.

  6. Tip the fruit out into the pineapples skins and decorate with pineapples leaves.

  7. Cook's Tip: A ripe pineapple will resist pressure when squeezed and will have a sweet, fragrant smell. In winter, freezing conditions can cause the flesh to blacken.
