The hotter it gets, the more I think about ice cream. Ever since I adopted a healthier lifestyle, ice cream was hard to give up. OK, let’s be honest here, I wasn’t able to give up ice cream. I did reduce the serving size though. Today I would like to introduce you to a sweet, warm, juicy pineapple fried with raisins, honey, and Amaretto liqueur. Wait! And a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
I have days when my body is just craving for sweets. There is only one sentence stuck in my brain: “I GOTTA HAVE SOMETHING SWEET AND UNHEALTHY. NOW!” That’s when fried fruits come in handy. They are a great alternative to a cake or other pastries, and the scoop of ice cream will not cause too much damage. Plus, it’s so easy to make.
MY LATEST VIDEOSI discovered fried fruits not so long ago, and instantaneously fell in love with the flavors that the process of frying/grilling brings out. I experimented frying different fruits and preparing a variety of marinades for it. Pineapples and bananas are my favorite so far. How about you, friends? Do you fry/grill fruits? Which ones do you like the most?
Enjoy this summer inspired dessert, and don’t forget to share what you thought of it.
