Ingredients
8 pineapple rings
1 c. dark rum
1 c. coconut rum
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 (10-oz.) bag sweetened coconut
2 large eggs
1/2 c. coconut milk
Vegetable oil, for frying
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. powdered sugar
Preparation
Step 1Place pineapple rings in a medium bowl. Cover with rum and let soak for at least 1 hour. Drain and reserve rum. Pat pineapple dry. Step 2Place flour and coconut in 2 shallow bowls. In a third shallow bowl, whisk eggs and coconut milk together. Working one at a time, dip pineapple in flour, then egg mixture, then in coconut, pressing to coat. Step 3In a deep, heavy bottom pot, add enough oil to come 1-inch up sides. In batches, add pineapple and fry until golden, 1 minute per side. Remove using a slotted spoon and place on paper towel-lined plate. Step 4In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese and powdered sugar until no lumps remain. Add 2 tablespoons reserved rum and mix to combine. Add more rum as necessary to thin. Step 5Serve fried pineapple rings with sauce for dipping.
