Pineapple Tamales

If you’ve never tried pineapple tamales, you’re really missing out! These sweet tamales are one of my go-to recipes when I want something special. I whip up a soft masa and fold in the most delicious chunks of pineapple. Once they’re all wrapped up and steamed, the flavors just come alive! They’re a delightful dessert that reminds me of warm, cozy days. I love to enjoy them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or some coconut on top. Honestly, they’re a hug in a tamal!
