Ingredients

• 1 whole Pineapple, fresh
• 2 tablespoons Dark rum
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 loaf Pound cake, pre-made
• 2 cups (optional) Vanilla ice cream
• 2 sprigs (optional) Fresh mint, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Cut the top, bottom, and outer skin off the pineapple. Slice it into rings about 1/2-inch thick, and remove the core from each ring using a paring knife or small cookie cutter.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the dark rum, honey, brown sugar, melted butter, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.

Step 4

Brush both sides of each pineapple ring generously with the rum and honey mixture.

Step 5

Place the pineapple rings on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks form and the pineapple is slightly caramelized. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Step 6

While the pineapple cools slightly, slice the pound cake into 1-inch-thick slices and toast each slice on the grill for about 1 minute per side, or until lightly golden and warm.

Step 7

To assemble, place a slice of toasted pound cake on each serving plate. Top each slice with a grilled pineapple ring.

Step 8

Optionally, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center of the pineapple ring and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint for an extra touch of elegance.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy!
