Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (small, peeled and cored) Pineapple
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
- 4 small sprigs Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the pineapple into bite-sized wedges or rings.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt evenly.
Add the pineapple pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and lightly caramelized.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey over the pineapple and allow it to coat the fruit evenly. Cook for an additional minute so the honey becomes slightly syrupy.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the pineapple cool for 2-3 minutes.
In serving bowls, place one scoop of vanilla ice cream in each bowl.
Top each scoop with a few caramelized pineapple pieces and a drizzle of the remaining honey from the skillet.
Sprinkle chopped nuts over the top for added crunch.
Garnish with a small sprig of mint if desired, and serve immediately.
