(makes 4)
Pineapple, fresh - ½ each
DOLCE! - 8 ounces
Pound cake, cubed - 6 slices
Light rum - ½ cup
Sugar - ¼ cup
Coconut, unsweetened - 1 cup
Trim pineapple and coarsely chop in food processor; drain in a sieve for at least 15 minutes. (Keep the juice for drinking or marinating a pork loin or shrimp!)
Spread coconut on a cookie sheet and brown under broiler – watching constantly! This should take no more than two minutes.
Dissolve sugar into rum. Place cubed pound cake in a large bowl and drizzle liberally with the sweetened rum.
Have ready: Pastry bag – no tip or plain tip – with DOLCE inside, four parfait (or wine) glasses. Build parfaits starting with rum-soaked pound cake; pipe in a layer of DOLCE!; a layer of pineapple; and repeat, ending with DOLCE. Top with toasted coconut.
Refrigerate up to six hours, or serve immediately.
Buon Appetito!
