Ingredients

• 1 whole (medium-sized) Fresh pineapple
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Dark rum
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch Salt
• 0.5 cup Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
• 2 scoops per serving Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple, stand it upright, and carefully slice off the skin. Use a small knife or corer to remove any remaining eyes and the tough core.

Step 2

Cut the pineapple into 1/2-inch-thick rings or wedges, depending on your preference. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, rum, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cook the mixture until the sugar is dissolved and the glaze thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Place a non-stick grill pan or regular skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, lightly brush it with a bit of the glaze to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Working in batches if necessary, place the pineapple slices onto the hot pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the pineapple is caramelized and grill marks appear.

Step 6

While the pineapple is grilling, toast the shredded coconut. Place the coconut in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Once the pineapple is done, transfer it to a serving platter. Drizzle the remaining brown sugar and rum glaze over the grilled pineapple.

Step 8

Sprinkle the toasted coconut over the top for added texture and flavor. Optionally, serve the dish with scoops of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your tropical creation!
