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.

CARAMELIZED PINEAPPLE SUNDAES WITH CHOCOLATE-COCONUT SAUCE



Caramelized Pineapple Sundaes with Chocolate-Coconut Sauce image

Categories     Chocolate     Fruit     Dessert     Coconut     Pineapple     Summer     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Praline:
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup unsalted macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
Sauce:
1 15-ounce can sweetened cream of coconut (such as Coco López)
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
Pinch of salt
Pineapple:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons (firmly packed) golden brown sugar
1 small pineapple, peeled, cored, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 pints vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • For praline:
  • Line 8x8-inch baking pan with foil. Stir sugar and water in heavy small saucepan over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup is deep amber color, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 7 minutes. Mix in nuts. Immediately pour mixture into prepared pan, spreading slightly. Cool completely. Peel foil off praline. Coarsely chop praline. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Store refrigerated in airtight container.)
  • For sauce:
  • Bring cream of coconut and cocoa to simmer in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking until smooth. Remove from heat. Add extracts and salt; whisk to blend. Cool. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.)
  • For pineapple:
  • Melt butter and sugar in very large skillet over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high. Add pineapple and sauté until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Divide pineapple among 8 sundae dishes. Top each with 1 scoop of ice cream. Top with sauce and praline.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapples: Look for pineapples with a golden-yellow color and a slightly sweet aroma. Avoid pineapples that are green or have brown spots.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you cut the pineapple into even pieces and prevent the fruit from becoming bruised.
  • Caramelize the pineapple in batches: If you are making a large batch of caramelized pineapple, cook it in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan. This will help the pineapple caramelize evenly.
  • Don't overcook the pineapple: Caramelized pineapple should be slightly soft but still retain a bit of a bite. If you overcook the pineapple, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Add spices and herbs to taste: You can add a variety of spices and herbs to caramelized pineapple to enhance its flavor. Some popular options include cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.

Conclusion:

Caramelized pineapple is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a great addition to desserts, such as pies, cakes, and ice cream. It can also be used in savory dishes, such as stir-fries, curries, and grilled meats. With its sweet and tangy flavor, caramelized pineapple is sure to add a burst of flavor to any dish.
