Ingredients:

1 pineapple
900g
2 bananas
240g
1/2 cup coconut milk
110g
1/4 tsp cinnamon
0.65g
4 oz dried coconut meat
110g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pineapple:
- Begin by washing the pineapple thoroughly.
- Slice the pineapple in half lengthwise, creating two equal halves.
- Carefully use a knife to carve around the edges of the pineapple flesh, leaving about a half-inch border around the sides.
- Scoop out the pineapple flesh with a spoon or a melon baller, being careful not to damage the pineapple shell. Save the carved-out pineapple flesh in a bowl and set aside.
2. Make the Filling:
- Peel the bananas and chop them into small pieces. Add them to the bowl with the pineapple flesh.
- Pour the coconut milk over the pineapple and banana mixture.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon over the fruit and coconut milk.
- Stir in the dried coconut meat, mixing all the ingredients until well-combined.
3. Stuff the Pineapple:
- Evenly distribute the fruit mixture into the hollowed-out pineapple shells, filling them up completely.
4. Bake or Chill:
- For a chilled treat: Place the stuffed pineapple halves in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- For a warm dessert: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the stuffed pineapple halves on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top of the filling is lightly browned and bubbly.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once ready, remove the pineapple halves from the fridge or oven.
- Optionally, sprinkle a little extra dried coconut meat or a dash of cinnamon on top for added texture and flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this tropical delight!

Tips:

- Choose a ripe, fragrant pineapple for the best flavor. The pineapple should have a sweet smell at the base.

- Ensure the bananas are ripe but not overly mushy for the best texture.

- Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier consistency.

- Feel free to toast the dried coconut meat for added crunch and a nutty flavor.

- For an extra touch of sweetness, you can drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup over the finished dish.

This Paleo stuffed pineapple with bananas, coconut milk, and cinnamon is a delightful combination of fruity and creamy textures enhanced by aromatic spices. Easy to make and visually stunning, it's a perfect dish to wow your family and friends while staying aligned with a healthy, Paleo lifestyle. Enjoy the taste of the tropics in every bite!
