So you want a different dessert for summer instead of plain
ice cream? Try this for a quick easy and refreshing change. Serve the kids ice
cream sundaes and the adults Grilled Pineapple with Butter Rum Sauce
at your next barbeque.
What I like most about this is you can make the sauce and
grill the pineapple ahead of time. When it comes time for dessert, just
assemble and watch your guest devour this “adult” twist to ice cream!
The recipe came from Man Cave
Cuisine.
You’ll need:
§ 1 Pineapple (you can sometimes find a fresh
pineapple already sliced in the produce dept)
§ Vegetable or Canola Oil
§ Brown Sugar
§ 1 Cup Rum
§ 1 stick of butter
§ Vanilla Ice Cream
In a small sauce pan
combine the rum, butter and a pinch or so of the brown sugar. Heat until the
sugar is melted then let it simmer (the sauce is going to thicken up) for
about 10 mins. Whisk often.
In the meantime, slice
the pineapple (make sure you core it if you bought a whole pineapple), brush
each slice with oil and then coat with the brown sugar. Grill until you have
nice grill marks and make sure to keep an eye on the pineapple slices because
the sugar will burn pretty quick. 2-3 mins per side.
In a small bowl top each pineapple slice
with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream and the butter rum sauce. Garnish with a
crispy cookie or wafer.
