Why yes, that is a pineapple stuffed with a frozen strawberry-pineapple and Rum concoction. It’s a great way to get both drunk and meet your daily requirements for fruit in one shot.
At dinner parties, frozen, stuffed pineapple may serve as centerpiece; uncap at table and serve as dessert or between-course refresher.

Pineapple Strawberry Ice with Chocolate Strawberries
Ingredients
Pineapple Strawberry Ice
- 1 medium pineapple
- 2 pints strawberries divided
- 2 tablespoons 151 proof rum
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Chocolate Strawberries
- 1 8- ounce package semi-sweet chocolate
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
For the ice
-
Slice off top of pineapple; using sharp knife and spoon, hollow out pineapple, but reserve fruit. Sprinkle inside of pineapple and top with lemon juice; wrap with plastic foil and freeze solid, at least 8 hours in a zero-degree freezer.
-
Chop pineapple fruit and puree in food processor, or pass through food mill or sieve.
-
Clean 1 pint strawberries and puree. Mix strawberries, pineapple, and 151 proof rum together. Place in freezer container, cover, freeze.
-
About 2 hours before freezing, remove pineapple-strawberry ice from freezer and let soften until semi-frozen. Spoon into hollow, frozen pineapple. Return to freezer.
-
Remove from freezer 1 hour before serving time. Frozen pineapple acts as insulator to prevent ice from thawing.
For the strawberries
-
Clean the remaining pint of strawberries and set aside.
-
Melt chocolate and oil in saucepan.
-
Dip strawberries-1 at a time- halfway into melted chocolate. Remove to baking sheet covered with wax paper. Chill until chocolate is firm.
