Pineapple-Coconut Verrines with White Chocolate Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 can pineapple chunks, drained
• 1 cup coconut cream
• 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 4-6 verrine glasses or small jars

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the pineapple chunks, coconut cream, shredded coconut, sugar, and salt. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and the pineapple has softened. Remove from heat and let cool.
2. In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering, then remove from heat and add the white chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
3. Layer the pineapple-coconut mixture and the white chocolate mixture in verrine glasses or small jars, starting and ending with the pineapple-coconut mixture. Top with additional shredded coconut, if desired. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
