In my home my oldest son has become a fan of pineapples, and although I always give it to him in just freshly cut chunks, this time I wanted to surprise him by innovating a little bit when giving him a dessert. And in these summer days, in which the kids are still enjoying their vacations, surprising my son with something like that is a real treat for him.
So, I decided once again to visit the Vive Mejor website, in order to get a little help and to find a good idea with the flavors that my kid likes. To my surprise, I have not only found a fabulous blend, but also a recipe that has precisely his favorite ice cream flavor, which is vanilla.
Although the original recipe is called Piña Colada Split, which is served in the same pineapple (and I think it’s a very good idea), I wanted to give it a little twist, and serve it in glasses in order to make a parfait-style dessert. And I must simply say that my son and everyone at home loved it!
