Here are five mouth-watering desserts made with this super fruit.

Delectable Desserts to Try

1. Red, White, & Blue Banana & Pineapple Split

Perfect for your July 4th festivities, this colorful treat features pineapple, banana, blueberries, and mashed strawberries over two heaping scoops of vanilla sorbet. It’s garnished with fresh mint leaves and pairs well with a hot cup of fresh coffee.

2. Banana Hazelnut Rolls With Pan-Roasted Pineapple

This crispy dessert includes banana covered in a hazelnut spread and rolled up in a pre-made egg roll wrapper. The roll is pan-seared with fresh pineapple slices until both are browned on each side, and then it’s smothered with a decadent cinnamon-sugar mixture.

3. Pineapple & Greens Smoothie

While this nutrient-packed smoothie is perfect for healthy eaters, it can also satisfy any sweet tooth. In addition to pineapple, the creamy concoction includes avocado, banana, almond milk, and orange juice, mixed in a blender. It’s perfect for an easy-to-make morning drink or a healthy after-dinner dessert.

4. Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Considered an American classic, this dessert is a rich, buttery dessert that should be served warm or at room temperature. It boasts an impressive, ornate top that features pineapple rings and cherries, which is created when the cake is flipped onto a heatproof serving plate as soon as it comes out of the oven. Often, it’s baked with raisins that are pre-soaked in an orange liqueur.

5. Festive Dessert Pizza

This flavorful dessert features pineapple, strawberries, and melted Hawaiian chocolate on top of an 8-inch flatbread. It can be topped with toasted almonds, then cut into four equal portions and served while the chocolate is still gooey and warm.
