Time 25m

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped, or chocolate chips
1 stick unsalted butter, sliced
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons half-and-half
1 cup mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
1 store-bought pound cake, cut into 6 to 8 thick slices
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into wedges
Shredded coconut, toasted, and/or peanuts, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 50 percent power for 2 minutes; stir, then microwave at 30-second intervals until completely melted. Whisk in the cocoa and 1 3/4 cups sugar until smooth. Microwave the mixture on full power for 5 minutes, stopping to whisk occasionally. (Don't worry if the mixture looks grainy; continue to cook and whisk until smooth.) Add 1 cup half-and-half and microwave on full power until smooth and slightly fudgy, 2 minutes. Transfer to a thermos to keep warm.
  • Fold the remaining 2 tablespoons half-and-half and 2 tablespoons sugar into the mascarpone in a bowl; cover and refrigerate.

  • Top the cake with pineapple, a scoop of mascarpone cream and hot fudge. Garnish with coconut and/or nuts, if desired.

This dessert treat uses fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt, but you could substitute vanilla ice cream if you prefer. The flavors of coconut and the carmelized pineapple create a delicious topping. This is best when fresh pineapple is used. Sometimes you can find already peeled and cored pineapple in the produce department. From Food & Wine.

CARAMEL GRILLED PINEAPPLE SUNDAES



Caramel Grilled Pineapple Sundaes image

Okay, so I know that we really cheated on the sauce by using a jarred sauce, but this is exactly what we served to some guests for a last minute dessert after a meal of "Brats--Our Way" and grilled corn on the cob, and they loved it! For four adults and two small children, this really was just barely enough, and we could have probably eaten another pineapple. I noticed that most other pineapple recipes here involve marinating the pineapple or brushing it with something just before grilling. We've never tried that, but really enjoy the simple, fresh taste of the pineapple without other added ingredients. If you've never tried grilled pineapple, you owe it to your tastebuds to try one of the recipes for it here on the zaar!

Categories     Frozen Desserts

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pineapple (fresh and ripe)
1 (10 ounce) jar caramel ice cream topping (You will have plenty left)
1 quart vanilla ice cream (also, you'll have some left)

Steps:

  • Peel, core, and slice pineapple into 3/4 inch to 1 inch thick rings. If your pineapple is already cored and sliced in a way that makes it impossible to cut into rings, just cut into big wedges. Pieces that are cut too small make it difficult to grill without losing pieces in the grill, as the pineapple will soften somewhat.
  • Grill on a lightly oiled BBQ grill grate over medium to high heat, turning once, until the pineapple has nice grill marks, is warm, and slightly softened. Time will vary depending on your grill, but your eyes and your nose will tell you when it's ready!
  • Warm caramel ice cream topping in microwave according to package directions.
  • Assemble sundaes by placing a portion of pineapple in the bottom of each bowl. Top with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream, end drizzle a large spoonful of warm caramel topping over the top, and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy the compliments from your guests.
  • Grin as they ooooh and aahhhh over what a genius you are! :).

COCONUT-CHOCOLATE SUNDAES



Coconut-Chocolate Sundaes image

If you love coconut-chocolate candy bars, this may be your dream dessert. Ice cream coated in shredded coconut is served with bourbon-spiked butterscotch sauce and a crunchy chocolate-almond topping. You will have more of the topping than you need -- and that's a very good thing, as it's also excellent on its own.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 quart vanilla ice cream
3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
Chocolate, Almond, and Coconut Clusters
Vanilla-Bourbon Butterscotch Sauce
Unsweetened flaked coconut, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap. Scoop ice cream into 1/4-cup balls. Roll in sweetened coconut to cover and place on baking sheet. Cover with more plastic wrap and freeze at least 2 hours and up to 2 weeks.
  • Place a coconut-coated ball in the bottom of each serving glass. Sprinkle with clusters. Top with a second scoop and more clusters. Spoon sauce over top, sprinkle with unsweetened coconut, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well and rinse it off before using.
  • Caramelize the pineapple over medium heat. This will help to develop the flavor of the pineapple and prevent it from burning.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan for the chocolate-coconut sauce. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Bring the chocolate-coconut sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Do not boil the sauce, as this will cause it to curdle.
  • Serve the sundaes immediately. The ice cream will start to melt if you wait too long.

Conclusion:

Caramelized pineapple sundaes with chocolate-coconut sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. They are perfect for a summer party or a special occasion. The combination of caramelized pineapple, chocolate, and coconut is sure to please everyone.
