Fried Pineapple Rings with Creamy Coconut Dipping Sauce

1️⃣ Soak Pineapple: Place pineapple rings in a bowl and cover with pineapple juice. Let soak for 1 hour, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.

2️⃣ Prepare Coating: Set up three bowls — one with flour, one with sweetened coconut, and one with whisked eggs and coconut milk.

3️⃣ Coat Pineapple: Dip each pineapple ring first in flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally in the coconut, pressing to coat well.

4️⃣ Fry Pineapple: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry each ring for about 1 minute per side until golden. Drain on paper towels.

5️⃣ Make Dipping Sauce: In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in vanilla and add coconut milk as needed to reach desired creaminess.

Cooking Tips
Oil Temperature: Keep oil at a steady 350°F to avoid overly oily rings.
Double Coat for Extra Crunch: For added crispiness, coat each pineapple ring with flour and coconut twice.
