Ingredients
- 1 whole Pineapple
- 4 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Creme fraiche
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 sprigs Fresh mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple. Stand it up on a cutting board and carefully slice off the outer skin. Cut the pineapple into 8 even rings, about 1/2 inch thick each. Remove the tough core from the center of each ring using a cookie cutter or paring knife.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix creme fraiche, ground cinnamon, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt, then stir in the brown sugar. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture turns into a caramel-like glaze.
Step 4
Add the pineapple rings to the skillet in a single layer. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and slightly caramelized. Drizzle the honey over the pineapple during the last minute of cooking.
Step 5
Remove the glazed pineapple from the skillet and transfer to serving plates. Let cool slightly.
Step 6
Top each pineapple ring with a dollop of the cinnamon creme fraiche. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and serve immediately.
