Time 1h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings (4 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 to 2 tablespoons unrefined coconut oil
1/2 pineapple, peeled, cut into long wedges and cored
1 cup tangerine or orange segments, drained of juice (about 3 tangerines)
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut, such as Baker's Angel Flake, toasted lightly (see Cook's Note)
1 cup mini marshmallows, stale (see Cook's Note)
1 cup sour cream
1/4 teaspoon orange extract
Freshly torn mint leaves, for garnish

Steps:

Heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the pineapple and sear until very dark on one side, 5 to 10 minutes; it should look almost burned. Flip and add the remaining coconut oil if the pan looks dry. Cook on the reverse side until darkly seared, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the pineapple to a cutting board and let cool before cutting into medium dice.
Add the pineapple, tangerines, coconut, marshmallows, sour cream and orange extract to a nonreactive bowl. Fold to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours, until completely cold!!! Serve garnished with mint.
