CARAMELIZED PINEAPPLE SUNDAES WITH COCONUT

Caramelized Pineapple Sundaes With Coconut image

This dessert treat uses fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt, but you could substitute vanilla ice cream if you prefer. The flavors of coconut and the carmelized pineapple create a delicious topping. This is best when fresh pineapple is used. Sometimes you can find already peeled and cored pineapple in the produce department. From Food & Wine.
