Air Fryer Brazilian Pineapple with Lime Dip is a bright, flavorful dessert that’s quick to prepare and delightful to serve. Sweet honey and brown sugar mingle with fresh lime to create a sticky, aromatic marinade for pineapple, while a creamy lime dip made with cream cheese and yogurt adds a tangy contrast.
If you need a fast dessert, this air fryer roasted pineapple delivers — it cooks in just 10 minutes and is best served warm right after dinner. The lime dip can be prepared ahead of time, so once the pineapple is marinated you’re ready to go.
Key to Success #1 – Marinate the Pineapple
Marinating the pineapple infuses each chunk with sweet and citrus notes. Drain the pineapple well, then transfer the pieces to a medium bowl. Add brown sugar, honey, and lime juice, stirring until every piece is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour — you can marinate up to 24 hours for deeper flavor. If marinating longer than an hour, stir the fruit a couple of times to redistribute the marinade.
Key to Success #2 – Make the Lime Dip
The lime dip is simple and can be made ahead. Start with 4 ounces of softened cream cheese. If needed, soften on the counter for an hour or briefly in the microwave on defrost, stirring after 30–60 seconds. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese with plain yogurt, honey, brown sugar, and lime juice. Stir until smooth — an electric mixer is optional but not required. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
Key to Success #3 – Don’t Forget to Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (about 200°C) for roughly five minutes. Drain the marinated pineapple well and discard the excess marinade. Arrange the pineapple chunks in a single layer in the air fryer basket — cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding. Air fry for 10 minutes until the fruit is roasted and beginning to brown around the edges. Serve warm with the chilled lime dip.
