Ingredients
- 1 whole (peeled, cored, and cut into chunks) Pineapple
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Dark rum
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons Toasted coconut flakes (optional)
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
1. Prepare the pineapple by peeling, coring, and cutting it into bite-sized chunks. Set aside.
Step 2
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt completely.
Step 3
3. Stir in the brown sugar and ground cinnamon, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sugar dissolves and forms a caramel-like sauce.
Step 4
4. Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sugar-butter mixture. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple becomes tender and caramelized.
Step 5
5. Carefully pour the dark rum into the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off and leave behind its bold flavor.
Step 6
6. Stir in the vanilla extract just before removing the skillet from the heat.
Step 7
7. Scoop vanilla ice cream into serving bowls or glasses. Spoon the warm rum-infused pineapple over the top of the ice cream.
