Caramelized Pineapple Confit image

I loved the flavor the vanilla beans added to the pineapple. Baking the pineapple made it even sweeter! Spooned over some vanilla ice cream this is a simple and refreshing summertime dessert. I was a little short on time in the Test Kitchen and really wanted to try this, so I prepared the confit version of this recipe. Next...

SIMPLE CARAMELIZED PINEAPPLE



Simple Caramelized Pineapple image

Found in All*You Magazine many years ago. I love making this dish for our family - very simple and I can tweak it with different toppings so it always seems just a bit different.

Provided by HokiesMom

Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Yield 6 bowls, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 whole fresh pineapple, cored (about 20 oz.)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
6 scoops vanilla ice cream or 6 scoops frozen yogurt
1/4 cup toasted almond, slivered
1/4 cup toasted coconut
2 bananas, sliced
fresh whipped cream
1 dash cinnamon

Steps:

  • Slice pineapple into eight rings and cut each ring into 8 pieces.
  • Warm butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. When butter begins to foam, add the pineapple and brown sugar (this is when you'd add the bananas if using that option).
  • Cook, stirring frequently and make sure you are turning the pineapple chunks over while stirring. This should take about 4-5 minutes - just until the pineapple is brown and all the sugar is dissolved.
  • Remove from heat and place into a shallow serving bowls and let cool 2-3 minutes.
  • Place a scoop of ice cream/frozen yogurt on each serving and top with other toppings if desired. Or you can serve with just a dollop of freshly whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

CARAMELISED PINEAPPLE COMPOTES



Caramelised pineapple compotes image

Impress your guests with Gordon Ramsay's intensely flavoured fruit purée topped with yogurt and shavings of iced fruit granita

Provided by Gordon Ramsay

Categories     Dessert, Dinner

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1large ripe pineapple
100g golden caster sugar
500g carton sweetened whole milk yogurt (we used Müller Thick and Creamy Yogurt)
Frosted coriander sprigs and Coconut tuiles , to serve

Steps:

  • Cut the skin off the pineapple, then cut it lengthways into quarters and remove the core from each piece. Chop the flesh roughly and purée in a food processor or blender until creamy. Pour the purée into a large sieve set over a bowl, and leave to drain in the fridge overnight. Do not stir.
  • Next day, pour the juice from the bowl into a freezerproof container. Freeze until solid (at least 4 hours).
  • Now caramelise the flesh. At this stage, in the restaurant, we rub the flesh through a sieve with the back of a ladle to make it very creamy. It's not vital, but it makes this dessert extra-special. Tip the sugar into a medium-sized frying pan and stir in 2 tbsp cold water. Stand for 5 minutes before heating slowly over a gentle heat, shaking the pan until the sugar dissolves into a clear syrup. When all the crystals have dissolved, raise the heat and cook to a medium golden colour. Tip in the pineapple flesh and cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until flavoured and slightly reduced. Remove and cool, then keep in a covered container in the fridge until ready to serve (The purée will keep for up to 2 days.)
  • When the pineapple juice has frozen, scrape it into icy shavings using a large metal spoon. Place in another container and keep frozen until ready to serve.
  • To serve, divide the purée between 8 shot or small wine glasses and top with yogurt. (They can be chilled for up to 4 hours at this point.) Remove the shavings from the freezer and spoon over the yogurt. Top each glass with a Frosted coriander sprig and serve with Coconut tuiles.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

For flan
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup reduced-fat (2%) milk
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 cup canned fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon minced lime peel
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1 1/4 cups egg substitute*
For pineapple
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1/2 pineapple (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled, cored, cut lengthwise into 16 slices
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
*A liquid product usually made of egg whites, food starch, corn oil and skim milk powder; available in the refrigerated dairy section at most supermarkets.

Steps:

  • Make flan:
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 325°F. Place 9-inch-diameter cake pan with 1 1/2-inch-high sides in oven. Bring lime juice to simmer in small saucepan. Remove from heat; cool.
  • Stir sugar and 1/4 cup water in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until deep amber color, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 6 minutes. Pour hot caramel into hot cake pan; using oven mitts, tilt cake pan to coat bottom evenly. Set aside.
  • Stir reduced-fat milk and cornstarch in 1-cup glass measuring cup to blend. Combine condensed milk, lime peel and lime juice in large bowl. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean. Stir to blend. Stir in egg substitute, then cornstarch mixture. Pour custard over caramel in pan. Place cake pan in large roasting pan. Add enough hot water to roasting pan to come halfway up sides of cake pan. Cover roasting pan with foil.
  • Bake custard until set around edges and center 4 inches still moves when pan is gently shaken, about 50 minutes (do not overbake or custard will curdle). Transfer cake pan to rack and let flan cool. Cover and refrigerate flan overnight.
  • Make pineapple:
  • Spray large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray. Place skillet over high heat. Add 8 pineapple slices to skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drizzle 1 tablespoon lime juice over pineapple. Using spatula, transfer pineapple to plate. Wipe out skillet, then spray with more nonstick spray. Repeat with remaining 8 pineapple slices and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Cut pineapple slices diagonally in half. Sprinkle with chopped mint.
  • Run small knife around cake pan sides to loosen flan. Invert flan onto platter. Cut into wedges; serve with pineapple.

Tips:

  • Use ripe pineapple for the best flavor.
  • Caramelize the pineapple in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the caramelized pineapple to enhance the sweetness.
  • Use full-fat cream for a richer and creamier fool.
  • Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks to achieve the perfect consistency.
  • Chill the fool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Garnish the fool with fresh mint or pineapple slices for a pop of color and flavor.
