Note

Toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, watching closely to prevent burning.

For a non-alcoholic version, omit the Kahlua and rum, or substitute with coffee syrup and coconut extract.

These parfaits are best served immediately. If preparing ahead, layer the cookie, pineapple, and coconut in glasses, and add the ice cream just before serving to maintain texture.

Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to prevent the parfaits from becoming too watery.
