Ingredients
- 2 quarts sunflower oil, for deep frying
- 1 ripe pineapple
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup soda water
- 8 fun-size chocolate coconut bars (recommended: Mounds)
Directions
Heat sunflower oil in a deep-fat fryer or a Dutch oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut the top and bottom off the pineapple, then quarter it vertically. Trim the woody core off each segment, and then lay it skin side down, and slice the flesh in half lengthwise, stopping when you feel the skin. Then cut it across into slices and run the knife between the flesh of the fruit and the outer husk. The pineapple pieces should come out easily. Squeeze the outer skin of the pineapple over the cut fruit to get every last bit of juice.
In a large bowl, add 1 cup of flour. Gently whisk in 3/4 cup of soda water, if the batter is too thick, add the 1/4 cup. It should be able to coat the candy bar easily. Submerge each chocolate coconut bar in the batter and place it right into the hot oil either with your fingers or tongs, allowing it to fry for about 3 minutes or until the batter is puffed up and golden brown. Using a tongs remove the battered chocolate coconut bars and place them on a paper towel lined plate. Transfer them to a plate aside the pineapple pieces, enjoy immediately.

Saw the Recipe "in action" on TV.The "Girls" were over and Nigella had a Thought~not saying a word,began grabbing snack size candy bars.They said,"Nigella" 'what are You Doing'?Gleefully,began 'dunking'into a Tempura type batter. Eaten as quickly as able.Giggling and Stunned by how Good the Taste! Agree.Fabulous.As another reviewer said,"make 'funnel cake{s}'.Any small sized 'sturdy Food' can be prepared.Not only sweets.Savouries as Desired.Just have very Cold to not melt before done.The Best Party Food Ever!

We used this recipe to deep fry a whole lot of items. Did not make the pineapple stuff. The batter for this is amazing, though!! We deep fried some oreos, mini candy bars, york peppermint patties, and mini toblerones. The oreos were AWESOME!! You have got to try this!! We heated Canola oil in a wok pan on the stove and it worked great. Use the extra batter to make yourself a funnel cake! So good!
