1 cup frozen pineapple chunks

½ cup cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez®)

1 1x3-inch strip of lemon peel

2 toothpicks

1 sprig fresh mint, leaves removed and stem discarded

Place banana slices, pineapple chunks, and cream of coconut in a blender; blend until sorbet mixture is smooth and creamy.

Coil lemon peel into a cylinder and secure with 1 toothpick. Insert mint leaves through the top to create "pineapple" leaves.

Mix coffee liqueur and dark rum together in a coupe glass.

Place a 2-ounce scoop of sorbet in a coupe glass. Pour coffee liqueur and rum mixture on top. Insert 1 toothpick into the center of the sorbet scoop. Place the "pineapple" garnish on top.
