Frozen Pineapple and Coconut Parfaits

  1. Set a 2-quart container and 6 parfait glasses in the freezer.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the pineapple juice and cream of coconut.
  3. Working in 2 batches, freeze the mixture in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  4. Transfer the sorbet to the chilled container, cover tightly and freeze.
  5. Using a long sharp knife, remove the skin from the pineapple.
  6. Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise and remove the core.
  7. Cut one pineapple half into 1/4-inch dice.
  8. Cut three 1/3-inch thick crosswise slices from the other pineapple half, then cut 2 neat triangles from each slice.
  9. Reserve the remaining pineapple for another use.
  10. In a large, heavy, nonreactive skillet, combine the brown sugar and butter with 1 tablespoon of water and stir over moderately high heat until bubbling.
  11. Add the 6 pineapple triangles and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  12. Transfer the triangles to a plate to cool.
  13. Add the diced pineapple to the skillet and cook until the juices evaporate, about 5 minutes.
  14. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
  15. Place a scoop of slightly softened sorbet in each of the 6 chilled parfait glasses.
  16. Cover the sorbet with half of the diced pineapple.
  17. Make a second layer with another scoop of sorbet and the remaining diced pineapple.
  18. Top the parfaits with the remaining sorbet.
  19. Just before serving, garnish each parfait with a caramelized pineapple triangle and a Coconut Tuiles.
  20. Pass the remaining Coconut Tuiles separately.
