Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cans crushed pineapple in its own juice (20

ounce)

1 cup unsweetened light coconut milk

1/4 cup light corn syrup

1 tablespoon coconut extract

3 tablespoons rum -- (optional)

toasted coconut -- (optional)

 

1.Combine the pineapple with juice, the coconut milk, corn syrup, and coconut

extract in a food processor, pulse until smooth. Add the rum (if using) and

pulse to combine.

 

2.Pour the mixture into 8 pop molds and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours, or

overnight. Or, to make granita, pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch metal baking

pan, or a shallow plastic container and cover with plastic wrap or a lid.

Freeze until the granita is partially frozen, about 4 hours.

 

3.Transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse until almost smooth. Do

not overprocess. Return the granita to the pan, cover, and freeze until firm,

about 4 hours longer. Let the granita stand at room temperature for 10 minutes

to soften before serving. For the pops, remove them from the molds and sprinkle

with the coconut (if using).

Unsweetened light coconut milk has the consistency of light cream with a mild

coconut flavor; it can be found in Asian food sections in supermarkets. Be

careful not to confuse it with regular coconut milk or cream of coconut, the

latter of which is thick, sweet, and very high in fat and calories.

NOTES : These tropical wonders couldn't be easier to make Kids will love them

sprinkled with toasted coconut. For the adult version, lace them with rum - just

add 3 tablespoons of rum to the mixture before you freeze it (and remember to

factor in the extra POINTS). This treat also can be made granita-style as well,

for a fancy dessert topped with toasted coconut and diced pineapple.
