Frozen Pineapple and Coconut Parfaits
- 46 ounces pineapple juice, well chilled
- 2/3 cup sweetened cream of coconut, such as Coco Lopez, at room temperature
- 1 ripe medium pineapple (about 3 1/2 pounds)
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Coconut Tuiles
- Set a 2-quart container and 6 parfait glasses in the freezer.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the pineapple juice and cream of coconut.
- Working in 2 batches, freeze the mixture in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Transfer the sorbet to the chilled container, cover tightly and freeze.
- Using a long sharp knife, remove the skin from the pineapple.
- Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise and remove the core.
- Cut one pineapple half into 1/4-inch dice.
- Cut three 1/3-inch thick crosswise slices from the other pineapple half, then cut 2 neat triangles from each slice.
- Reserve the remaining pineapple for another use.
- 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.
- Add the 6 pineapple triangles and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the triangles to a plate to cool.
- Add the diced pineapple to the skillet and cook until the juices evaporate, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
- Place a scoop of slightly softened sorbet in each of the 6 chilled parfait glasses.
- Cover the sorbet with half of the diced pineapple.
- Make a second layer with another scoop of sorbet and the remaining diced pineapple.
- Top the parfaits with the remaining sorbet.
- Just before serving, garnish each parfait with a caramelized pineapple triangle and a Coconut Tuiles.
