Party Panache, Coconut Pineapple Faux Créme Brûlèe

I am really excited to share this today

I can’t wait to find out what you think!

This oh so tempting creamy dessert

with a caramelized burnt sugar topping

Garnished with fresh pineapple and coconut flakes

Is actually…

Wait for it…

Greek yogurt!!!

Yep, a truly guilt free, healthy, satisfying dessert!

Slice fresh pineapple into rings leaving the skin on, cut a circle large enough to hold a small dish or ramekin

Cut out core piece and dice remaining pineapple

Cut additional pineapple for the bottom of dish if fruit on the bottom is desired

I enhanced my yogurt with yellow food coloring so there would be contrast between the yogurt and the white dish

Place some diced pineapple in bottom of dish if desired, and top with yogurt

Smooth top into a flat even layer

Sprinkle tops with 1/2 tsp sugar, white, turbinado or light brown

Caramelize with a kitchen torch and top with diced pineapple and coconut shreds

You will never miss the calories!

Notes

If you don’t have a culinary torch, skip the sugar topping and garnish as directed. The presentation is enough to elevate simple yogurt into a fancy dessert
