Piña Colada Fruit Roll Ups
Servings: 6 pieces
Bursting with the bright flavors of pineapple and coconut, these fruit leathers are a great way to enjoy the classic cocktail flavors in a portable snack form.
Ingredients
- 1 can pineapple chunks (20 oz can)
- ½ lemon, juiced
- ¼ cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Open the can of pineapple and add the fruit & juice to a small saucepan with the lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the pineapples have softened.1 can pineapple chunks, ½ lemon, juiced
- Use an immersion blender or carefully transfer the pineapple into a blender or food processor and process until completely smooth.
- Spread the puree on a lined baking sheet or solid dehydrator tray, then sprinkle the shredded coconut over the top. The trick to fruit leathers is to spread the puree so the edges are a little thicker than the middle—it will dry from the outside in so this helps to ensure it will all finish at the same time.¼ cup shredded coconut
- To dry in a dehydrator: Place the puree in the dehydrator and set it to 135°F.To dry in the oven: Place the baking sheet in the oven at the lowest temperature the oven can go (usually 160°F). Prop the door open with a wooden spoon to allow moisture to escape (be careful if you have curious pets or children!).
- Dehydrate for a few hours* until the fruit leather is no longer tacky and can be peeled up in one piece with no wet or soft spots (approximately 4-5 hours in an oven or 8-10 hours in a dehydrator).
Notes
*These times are just guidelines—the exact time will depend on the thickness of the puree, the humidity level in your house, etc. It’s best to judge doneness by look and feel, not just by time.
