"Piña Colada" Trifle with Sautéed Pineapple & Coconut-Oatmeal Crumble"Piña Colada" Trifle with Sautéed Pineapple & Coconut-Oatmeal Crumble — a 40-minute dessert recipe with 10 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

¾ (227 g) block cream cheese

177 ml heavy whipping cream

1 ½ small pineapples

1 ½ cups shredded unsweetened coconut

brown sugar

butter, unsalted

oats, quick cooking

powdered sugar

salt

vanilla extract

Instructions

Place a medium bowl (preferably metal) in the freezer to chill. (If space is limited, place in the refrigerator.)

Wash and dry pineapples. Cut off skin, quarter, core, and small dice. Transfer to a large pot.

Place pineapple over medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently, until pineapple is soft and caramelized, 10-15 minutes. Transfer pineapple to a plate and spread out in a thin layer; set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, preheat a large skillet over medium heat.

Once the skillet is hot, add butter and swirl to coat the bottom. Add oats, coconut, sugar, vanilla, and salt to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until oats and coconut become golden brown and fragrant, 6-7 minutes. Transfer mixture to another plate and set aside to cool.

Using a box grater, coarsely grate cream cheese into a medium bowl; add vanilla. Use a silicone spatula or fork to soften and combine the cream cheese mixture, creating a smooth cream.

Using a strainer, sift powdered sugar into the bowl with the cream cheese. Use the spatula or fork to mash and combine the mixture until smooth and no lumps remain. Set aside.

Remove bowl from the freezer. Pour cold cream into the bowl; use a whisk to beat the cream vigorously, until medium-soft peaks form, 2-3 minutes. (For medium-soft peaks, when you pull the whisk out of the bowl, the cream should hold its shape, with a peak that curls over slightly.)

Transfer the cream cheese mixture to the bowl with the whipped cream. Using a silicone spatula, gently fold the two together until almost combined.

To serve, divide coconut-oatmeal crumble, pineapple, and sweet cream between small bowls, cups, or jars, alternating ingredients to create layers. Enjoy!
