1. Soak pineapple rings in a mix of dark and coconut rum for at least 1 hour, then drain and pat dry.
2. Set up a dredging station with flour in one bowl, whisked eggs and coconut milk in another, shredded coconut in a third.
3. Dip each ring in flour, then egg mixture, then press firmly into coconut.
4. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry rings for about 1 minute per side until golden and crispy.
5. Drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with melted white chocolate.
