Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
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.
In a small bowl, whisk together the dark rum, honey, brown sugar, melted butter, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
Brush both sides of each pineapple ring generously with the rum and honey mixture.
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.
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.
To assemble, place a slice of toasted pound cake on each serving plate. Top each slice with a grilled pineapple ring.
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.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
