Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 cup coconut milk (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pineapple: Peel and dice fresh pineapple into bite-sized chunks to ensure juicy bites and the right texture for the dish.
  2. Make the Creamy Sauce: In a saucepan, gently warm coconut milk with plant-based cheese until melted and smooth. Stir in vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), maple syrup (natural), fresh lime juice (natural), and ground cinnamon (natural). Slowly whisk in the natural gelling agent until fully dissolved and silky.
  3. Combine Pineapple and Sauce: Mix pineapple chunks carefully into the creamy sauce, coating every piece with the luscious blend for harmonious flavor and texture.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake in a preheated oven until the top is bubbly and golden, indicating caramelization and creaminess.
  5. Let It Set: Allow the baked scalloped pineapple to cool slightly so the natural gelling agent firms up the texture, making it easier to serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use ripe, fragrant pineapple for the best natural sweetness and juiciness.
  • Melt the plant-based cheese slowly over low heat to avoid curdling and ensure smooth texture.
  • Choose an evenly sized baking dish to promote uniform cooking and browning.
  • Allow the dish to rest before slicing for better flavor development and clean portions.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness with maple syrup and lime juice before baking to balance the flavors perfectly.
