Method

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple and 1 tablespoon of sugar.

  2. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple has softened and the mixture becomes thick like jam. This should take about 15 minutes.

  8. Gently fold in the yogurt, pineapple compote, and half of the coconut into the whipped cream.

  9. Spoon the pineapple cream into serving glasses, alternating layers with fresh mango.

  10. Sprinkle the remaining coconut on top of each glass.
