Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Fresh pineapple
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for ice cream topping)
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Peel the pineapple and remove the core. Slice the pineapple into 1-inch thick rings.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together.
Brush the melted butter onto both sides of each pineapple ring.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly onto both sides of the pineapple slices.
Place the pineapple rings on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is slightly caramelized.
While the pineapple is grilling, scoop the vanilla ice cream into serving bowls. Sprinkle a small pinch of ground cinnamon over each scoop for added flavor.
Remove the grilled pineapple from the grill and let it cool for a minute or two.
Place a grilled pineapple ring in each serving bowl alongside the ice cream.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
