Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks
- 2 tablespoons Light brown sugar
- 1 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons Coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon Dark rum (optional)
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 4 pieces Maraschino cherries
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the pineapple chunks and sprinkle the light brown sugar over them. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple is caramelized and golden. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a small dry skillet, toast the unsweetened coconut flakes over low heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant. This will take about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In each serving bowl or sundae dish, place one scoop of vanilla ice cream as the base.
Top the ice cream with caramelized pineapple chunks and drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon of coconut cream. For an adult version, you can add a light drizzle of dark rum (optional).
Sprinkle the toasted coconut flakes generously over the sundaes.
Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of each sundae.
Garnish with a maraschino cherry and, if desired, a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color.
Serve immediately and enjoy your tropical Pina Colada Sundae!
