Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge, place a serving plate over the pan, and invert quickly. Leave the pan over the cake for a minute to let the caramel drizzle down.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Delicious with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients
4 cups frozen pineapple chunks (buy pre-frozen or freeze fresh pineapple)
¼ cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
Instructions
Place frozen pineapple chunks, honey, and lime juice in a high-speed blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. This may take a few minutes—be patient. If it's not blending, let it sit for 5 minutes to soften slightly.
Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 2-3 hours for a scoopable sorbet.
Garnish with fresh mint or lime zest if desired.
Variation: Add ½ cup coconut milk for a creamy pineapple coconut sorbet.Cooking & Recipes

1. Fresh vs. Canned Pineapple
Fresh pineapple is lovely but contains an enzyme (bromelain) that can prevent gelatin from setting and may make dairy-based desserts bitter if left too long. Cook it briefly to deactivate the enzyme, or use canned.
Canned pineapple is consistent, convenient, and the enzyme is already deactivated by the canning process—ideal for no-bake desserts.
2. Drain Well When Needed
For recipes where you don't want extra liquid, drain pineapple thoroughly and even pat dry with paper towels.Dairy & Eggs
3. Save the Juice
Pineapple juice is liquid gold. Use it in cakes, smoothies, or cocktails.
4. Toast the Coconut
If using coconut, toast it lightly in a dry skillet for extra flavor and crunch.
