Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin your Rum-Soaked Fried Pineapple by placing fresh pineapple rings in a mixing bowl. Pour in both dark rum and coconut rum until the pineapple is fully submerged. Cover the bowl and let the pineapple soak for at least 1 hour.
- While the pineapple is soaking, set up your breading station with all-purpose flour, a mixture of beaten eggs and coconut milk, and sweetened coconut flakes.
- Once soaked, coat each pineapple ring first in flour, then in the egg and coconut milk mixture, and finally roll it in sweetened coconut flakes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to a depth of about 2 inches over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Fry each breaded pineapple ring for about 1 minute on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Prepare the dipping sauce by blending softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and a splash of the reserved rum until smooth. Adjust with milk or cream as necessary.
