Ingredients
2 cups chopped pineapple
3 tablespoons sugar
100g shredded coconut
3 tablespoons sugar

Fresh pineapple can be found in local markets or grocery store produce sections. Shredded coconut and sugar are available in the baking aisles of most supermarkets.
Preparation method
- Place the chopped pineapple and sugar in a saucepan.

- Add the shredded coconut to the mixture.
- Mix all ingredients well until fully incorporated.
- Remove from heat and let it cool completely before using to fill the pastries.
Observations
This sweet filling perfectly balances the fruit flavors. It is crucial to ensure the syrup reduces well during cooking so the pastry does not become soggy, and to let it cool completely to maintain the dough's signature crispiness.
