    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Leaving a 2cm border, cut between pineapple flesh and skin. Cut out core, discarding. Cut flesh in a cross hatch pattern, then scoop out with a spoon into a food processor. Freeze pineapple shell.

    2 Add sorbet and lime juice to food processor and process until smooth. Transfer mix to a 25 x 35cm shallow tray and freeze for 2 hours or until icicles start to form. Using a fork, scrape mixture towards centre. Freeze for a further hour, then scrape again. Repeat again until mixture resembles granita.

    3 Meanwhile, combine lime zest, chilli and salt.

    4 Transfer granita into frozen shell. Serve dolloped with coconut yoghurt and sprinkled with chilli salt.

    HFG tip

    Lay the pineapple in its side and make a clean cut at the base. That way, you can stand it upright on a stable, flat surface to slice it neatly in half, vertically from the top.
