Malibu-Soaked Pineapple Bites
Juicy pineapple chunks soaked in Malibu coconut rum, lightly caramelized, and garnished with coconut or mint—these tropical bites are a fun, boozy twist on fruit skewers, perfect for parties or summer snacking.
Ingredients
- 1 fresh pineapple peeled, cored, and cut into bite-sized chunks (or pre-cut pineapple chunks)
- ½ cup Malibu coconut rum adjust to taste
- 1 tbsp brown sugar optional, for extra caramelization
- 1 tbsp butter melted (optional, for grilling/broiling)
- Optional Garnish: Toasted shredded coconut lime zest, or fresh mint
Instructions
- Place pineapple chunks in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour Malibu coconut rum over the fruit, making sure all pieces are coated. Seal or cover, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Toss the soaked pineapple with brown sugar if you want extra caramelization. Preheat your grill, grill pan, or broiler. Lightly brush the cooking surface with melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Grill or broil the pineapple for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and lightly charred. If using a broiler, place the chunks on a parchment-lined baking sheet and broil on high for 3–5 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Transfer the cooked pineapple to a platter. Skewer each piece with a toothpick or mini skewer. Garnish with toasted coconut, lime zest, or fresh mint, if desired.
