Instructions

Prepare the Pineapple: Peel and cut the fresh pineapple into bite-sized chunks. Set any excess juice aside and place the pineapple pieces in a mixing bowl.
Prepare the Coconut Coating: In a separate bowl, combine the shredded coconut with Greek yogurt and honey or maple syrup if you’re using them. Mix until a cohesive, sticky mixture forms. For a simpler version, skip the yogurt and honey and just use shredded coconut.
Coat the Pineapple: Using your hands or a fork, thoroughly coat each pineapple chunk in the coconut mixture ensuring all sides are covered. For a lighter version, simply roll the pineapple pieces in shredded coconut until fully coated.
Chill the Bites: Arrange the coated pineapple bites on a serving platter or tray. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the coating firms up and the flavors meld together.
Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Enjoy your Coconut Pineapple Bites cold as a refreshing snack or dessert.

Notes

Use sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut based on your preference for sweetness.
Greek yogurt and honey or maple syrup are optional but add creaminess and extra sweetness.
Chilling the bites helps the coating firm up for easier handling and better texture.
Fresh mint leaves add a bright, aromatic garnish but can be omitted if unavailable.
These bites are best served cold and consumed within a day for optimal freshness.
