Cooking Steps
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast shredded coconut until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Drain and finely chop pineapple slices. Return the frying pan to medium-high heat. • Cook pineapple, stirring, until lightly browned, 4-6 minutes. Add the butter and brown sugar and cook until golden brown and sticky, 2-4 minutes. • Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool for at least 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl, place the thickened cream. Beat with electric beaters until soft peaks form and almost doubled in size, 3-4 minutes. • Pick and thinly slice mint leaves.
• Gently stir half the mint into the whipped cream. TIP: If you don't have electric beaters, use a metal whisk. TIP: For maximum volume, chill both your bowl and cream before whipping.
• When you are ready to serve, break up meringue nests into small chunks and divide between four serving bowls. • Dollop each with a some mint cream, then top with the caramelised pineapple. Drizzle with lemon curd. • Top with the toasted coconut and remaining mint to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: A delightful mix of sweet and tangy, though some found it overly sweet. Consider reducing sugar or lemon curd to taste.
- Ease of prep: Simple enough for a 9-year-old to make independently, making it a great family-friendly dessert option.
- Suggestions: For better balance, try using more pineapple and cream, with fewer meringues. Adjust sweetness to preference.
- Portions: Some felt the recipe needed more ingredients to adequately serve four people.
