GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH ICED COCONUT CREAM
Steps:
- To toast coconut, place shredded coconut in a frying pan over medium heat. Stir constantly until lightly golden.
- In a bowl, combine ice cream, nectar, and rum and mix until smooth consistency. Put into a container and place in freezer for 2 to 3 hours. In a grill pan over high heat (or outdoor grill), grill pineapple rings for 3 to 5 minutes. Turn over and grill for an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to plate and set aside.
- To serve, place pineapple ring on plate with a scoop of Iced Coconut Cream. Top with any accumulated juice from pineapple. Sprinkle with toasted coconut.
ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH RUM-VANILLA SAUCE AND COCONUT
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a pot, stir together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add the hot water slowly, whisking constantly. Place the pot over high heat and bring the mixture to a simmer while continuing to whisk. Turn off the heat once the sauce has thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the rum and the vanilla scrapings; stir to incorporate.
- Cut the top and bottom off the pineapple with a large sharp knife. Stand the pineapple up on the counter and slice off the rind from top to bottom; then cut it into thirds lengthwise. Cut the wedges in half the short way so you have six thick chunks; remove the cores. Put the pineapple wedges on a nonstick cookie sheet and ladle them with half of the rum sauce. Bake for 30 minutes; then switch the oven to broil and cook until the pineapple is caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve a hunk of pineapple covered with remaining rum sauce, toasted coconut, and 2 scoops of ice cream.

Steps:
- Toast coconut in a small heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden-brown, about 5 minutes.
- Cut pineapple crosswise into 8 slices (about 3/4 inch thick) and core slices. Stir together remaining ingredients in a shallow glass baking dish and add pineapple in 1 layer, turning to coat evenly. Marinate, turning occasionally, 30 minutes.
- Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-high heat; see Grilling Procedure .
- Oil grill rack. Grill pineapple (reserve marinade), covered, turning once, until grill marks appear and pineapple is heated through, about 4 minutes. Serve pineapple with marinade and sprinkle with toasted coconut.
Tips:
- Choose ripe pineapples: Look for pineapples with a deep golden-yellow color and a slightly sweet aroma. Avoid pineapples with green or brown spots, as they may be underripe or overripe.
- Use a sharp knife: When cutting the pineapple, use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even slices. A dull knife can crush the pineapple and make it difficult to grill.
- Marinate the pineapple: Marinating the pineapple in a mixture of rum, brown sugar, and spices helps to infuse it with flavor and prevent it from drying out on the grill.
- Grill the pineapple over medium heat: Medium heat will help to caramelize the pineapple without burning it. Cook the pineapple for about 5 minutes per side, or until it is slightly charred and tender.
- Toast the coconut: Toasting the coconut adds a nutty flavor and texture to the dish. Spread the coconut on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for about 5 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
Conclusion:
Rum-spiked grilled pineapple with toasted coconut is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet, tangy, and smoky flavors is sure to please everyone. This dish can be served on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
