Fried Pina Colada Shots

By Peggie

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup of rum 1/2 fresh pineapple, cut into cubes 1/2 cup of prepared pancake batter 1/2 cup of shredded coconut 1/2 cup to 1 cup of high heat oil 1/2 cup of coconut cream
• Garnish: shredded coconut and coconut cream drizzle
• Note: I soaked some extra pineapple cubes in rum and did not fry them. I found that they were really good mixed into the fried one so that the guests got to taste the variations.
