Note: This recipe appears on www.weightwatchers.com. My mom and I recently had this for dessert and it was so delicious. Coconut and pineapple are so good together. There is nothing like cooked pineapple and cooked shredded coconut meat. I added a pinch of cinnamon to the honey to give the dessert a little more flavor. The shredded coconut meat adds flavor and a nice crunch to the dessert. This dessert is the perfect ending when you're having company over for dinner because it's a great finish. 5-ingredient chef Claire Robinson will love this dish as well.
