Main Ingredients
- 200g (1 cup) fresh pineapple, chopped
- 150g (3/4 cup) desiccated coconut
- 100g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 100g (1/2 cup) brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 150ml (2/3 cup) whole milk
- 180g (1 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Glaze Ingredients
- 100g (1/2 cup) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 20cm (8-inch) baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and desiccated coconut to create a well-balanced base for your pudding.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Then, add the eggs, whole milk, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to combine the flavors and moisture.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, careful not to overmix. Next, fold in the chopped fresh pineapple evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour and Smooth: Pour the combined batter into the greased baking dish, smoothing the top to ensure even baking and a uniform surface.
- Bake the Pudding: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the pudding is fully cooked with a moist crumb.
- Prepare Citrus Glaze: While the pudding cools slightly, whisk together powdered sugar, fresh orange juice, and lemon zest to create a bright, tangy glaze that complements the tropical flavors.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the citrus glaze over the warm pudding just before serving to add a luscious finishing touch and enhance the pudding’s flavor.
Notes
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the pudding light and fluffy.
- Use fresh pineapple for the best texture and flavor.
- You can substitute whole milk with coconut milk to enhance the coconut flavor.
- The citrus glaze should be added just before serving to maintain its fresh taste and vibrant appearance.
- Allow the pudding to cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting too much.
