This tropical sundae is a refreshing and flavorful dessert that's perfect for a hot summer day. The combination of pineapple, mango, and coconut milk yogurt is simply divine, and the toasted coconut and mint leaves add a nice touch of crunch and freshness. Plus, it's super easy to make!
The inspiration for this recipe came to me on a trip to Hawaii. I was hiking through a pineapple field when I came across a group of people making fresh pineapple juice. The smell was so intoxicating, and I couldn't resist trying a glass. It was the most delicious pineapple juice I'd ever had, and I knew I had to recreate it at home. So I started experimenting with different combinations of fruits and yogurts, and this tropical sundae was born.

Why It Works
The combination of pineapple and mango is a classic for a reason. The two fruits complement each other perfectly, with the pineapple's tartness balancing out the mango's sweetness.
The coconut milk yogurt adds a creamy richness to the sundae, and it also helps to keep it cool and refreshing.
The toasted coconut adds a nice touch of crunch and texture, while the mint leaves add a refreshing burst of flavor.
The drizzle of honey or maple syrup is optional, but it adds a touch of sweetness that really takes this sundae over the top.
