Grilled Pineapple with Ice Cream, Rum Sauce and Toasted Coconut

by Judy

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Here’s a Grilled Pineapple with Ice Cream, Rum Sauce and Toasted Coconut dessert that will make you dream of a tropical vacation! Grilled Pineapple with Ice Cream, Rum Sauce and Toasted CoconutI rarely buy fresh pineapple.  Not really sure why because I love it.  But I’ve recently created a couple great recipes with fresh pineapple, like Grilled Salmon with Pineapple Jalapeno Salsa, and this Grilled Pineapple with Ice Cream, Rum Sauce and Toasted Coconut dessert I’m sharing with you today.

Have you ever grilled fruit? It’s delicious!  I like to grill peaches and plums and this was the first time I tried grilling pineapple. For this dessert, I first made a simple rum sauce with some rum, brown sugar, vanilla and butter.  Then I let the pineapple slices sit in it for a bit before grilling them.  When you’re ready for dessert, put the slices of pineapple on the grill for a few minutes on each side to get some nice grill marks and heat it up a bit.  To serve, I put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, drizzled some more rum sauce and topped with toasted coconut.

I enjoyed this best when the pineapple was still a bit warm, but you can grill the pineapple earlier if you wish and serve it when you’re ready for dessert.  My friend Tracy suggested on my FB fan page to make something with toasted coconut so here you go Tracy, this Grilled Pineapple with Ice Cream, Rum Sauce and Toasted Coconut is for you!

If you have any great recipes with pineapple, let me know and I’ll make it.  I’m on a pineapple kick lately.
