  3. To prepare filling: Chop banana chips, almonds and coconut together in a blender or possibly food processor.
  4. To assemble: Spread 1-2 Tbsp. masa dough in each corn husk. Sprinkle 2 Tbsp. filling over masa, then press in one pineapple chunk. Fold corn husk over dough and filling and tie together.
  5. Arrange tamales so they are not touching in a steamer pan over boiling water.
  6. Cover and steam 1 hour over medium high heat, checking water level periodically and adding water if needed.
  7. Meanwhile, process remaining pineapple chunks with fruit juice and brown sugar to make a smooth sauce. To serve, cut open tamales and spoon fruit sauce over top. Garnish with dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of lime zest.
