~Deep Fried Pina Colada Rings!

I’m no stranger to frying, especially when that frying includes .. um, BOOZE!

When it comes to food, there’s just something about taking the naughty and making it even naughtier! Giving ordinary tasty treat a serious flavor-kick in the pants with NO fear is luscious and liberating, and SO delicious..lol!

This time, I super-soaked some pineapple rings in RUM!! And let me tell you, if you do nothing else, if you leave the recipe right now..where it is..at the very least, GO SOAK SOME PINEAPPLE RINGS IN RUM AND EAT THEM~ then call it a day! 😉

But, if you choose to continue on…you’ll get to see that I took those tipsy rings, and gave them the most scrumptious coating of tropical delights imaginable! I flash-fried them to a crispy, golden crunch..THEN..drizzled them in a boozy, Rum glazed cascade of succulent sweetness. TO DIE FOR!

Getting your Pina Colada on has never been so fun, and tasty! MAKE LOTS!

What you’ll need:

1 can of sliced Pineapple..with reserved juice

1 cup flour

2 eggs

1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs

1 cup of Rum..I used white rum

oil for frying..I used Canola

The glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

splashes of Rum until it’s thick!

Directions:

Remove the pineapple rings from the can and reserve the liquid in a separate container..set it aside!

Put the pineapple rings BACK into the can and fill it up with RUM.. trust me! Cover it and put it in the fridge for as long as you want..the longer, the stronger..lol!

When they’ve sufficiently soaked up enough booze for your liking, remove the rings and pat them dry.

NOW~ In a medium bowl pour in about 1/2 cup of that reserved pineapple juice, and whisk in the 2 eggs. Set aside..

In a medium bowl, add in the flour. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the Panko and the coconut..mix well, and set aside.

Create a breading station, and line up the bowls in THIS order: FLOUR – EGG – COCONUT…

Pineapple into the flour:

Pineapple into the Eggs:

Pineapple into the Coconut/Panko: (get it on there GOOD)

NOW~ Pineapple into the hot (350 degree) oil:

Whip up some tipsy Rum Glaze:

Mix together the powdered sugar with some Rum, until it’s thick and creamy..

Drizzle that goodness anywhere and everywhere you’d like…

There’s plenty to share…if you can!

OR you can just get drippy dippy with it…]

CHEERS! ~Enjoy! 🙂

  The recipe doesn’t show how much coconut to use, looking at the photo of the panko/ Coconut mixture, I’m assuming 1cup. Also, I’m going to use 1 T. of reserved Pineapple juice & the soaking Rum for the Glaze. I can hardly wait to try this!

Why is it that when I copy a link and share it. It is not the picture I was sharing!

  Not sure..what pic is it giving you?

I just want to clarify something before I give this a try. After reading over the directions I’m wondering if the panko is to be mixed with the coconut rather than the flour? Your directions state to mix Panko with flour in a bowl and the coconut as far as i can see isn’t mentioned in the directions until the coating process.

  I agree, it shows in the picture, panko and coconut, the intstructions are just worded wrong.

    All fixed~ thank you! 🙂

Wow! I just found your website (& fb page), You may have the most amazing and easy recipes I have ever seen! This maybe my favorite item, but I’ve thought that about 10 of your recipes so far! ?
I have a favor to ask, a few friends and I do a charity fundraiser every year for an animal rescue/shelter/charity, this year it’s Operation Blankets of Love. They help supply rescues with blankets (especially) and other items to help make an animal’s stay in the shelter comfortable.
Anyway to make a long story short,we do our party on fb (this year we will be starting the week of Thanksgiving and running through Dec 15th),and we play games and “serve” virtual food and drinks. Could I use some of your pictures? (and Thank You for having your website name already on them!)
Oh,I’ll send you the link when the fb page goes live, but our party’s name is Paws For the Holidays
Thanks!

This recipe is very intriguing and I will be making these. I love baking and cooking and I just cut up some fresh pineapple. But my take on this recipe is that I’m gonna try and use the core of the pineapple instead. I know they say you shouldn’t eat this but I have eaten the core. Yes, I know it’s fiberous but I think this recipe will help out. Thanks
