Ingredients

1 fresh pineapple (cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs (beaten)
¼ cup coconut milk
¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

Set up three dipping stations: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with shredded coconut.
Coat each pineapple piece by dipping it in flour, then egg, and finally rolling it in shredded coconut until well-coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the coated pineapple pieces in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Drain the fried bites on paper towels to remove excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk and drizzle over warm Coconut Pineapple Bites before serving.
