Pineapple Coconut Napoleons




Source of Recipe


DOLE®


List of Ingredients




1 can (20 oz.) DOLE® Pineapple Slices
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 wonton wrappers
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup canned cream of coconut
1/4 cup toasted macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 cup flaked coconut, toasted


Recipe



Drain pineapple slices; reserve 1/4 cup juice.

Combine 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Spray both sides of wonton wrappers with cooking spray then dredge in sugar-cinnamon mixture. Place on baking sheet; bake at 375º F. 3 minutes each side or until edges are golden brown; let cool.


Beat cream cheese, cream of coconut and 2 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl until smooth. Stir in nuts; set aside 4 tablespoons cream cheese mixture. Dredge 8 pineapple slices in remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar. Cut remaining pineapple slices into chunks.


Cook pineapple slices in large nonstick skillet over high heat turning, until lightly browned on both sides; 30 to 60 seconds per side. Remove from pan. Add any remaining sugar and butter to pan and melt.


Stir pineapple chunks and reserved juice into skillet. Heat to boiling and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.


Place one wonton wrapper on 4 dessert plates. Top each with pineapple slice and some of the glaze. Spoon 1/8 cream cheese mixture in center of slice. Repeat, layering once. Place remaining wonton wrapper on top; spoon reserved cream cheese mixture on top. Sprinkle with toasted coconut; spoon pineapple chunks around napoleons and serve.
