I always felt a bit cheated as a child when I asked what was for dessert and Mum responded by offering whatever was left in the fruit bowl. Now, I’m quite fond of a fruity pudding – as long as there’s been some sort of transformation, be it poaching, macerating or, as I’ve done here, roasting. Growing up, pineapple was one of the only fruits I was excited to eat, and it remains a favourite. This version gets nicely caramelised and sticky in the oven while the coconut brittle brings a pleasing, buttery crunch.
