Ingredients

1 (3 to 4 pound) pineapple
Cooking spray
2 teaspoons butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup rum
1 pint light vanilla ice cream

Directions

Cut the top and bottom off of the pineapple, peel and cut it crosswise into 8 rings, about 1/2-inch each. Use a spoon or apple corer to carve out the center core of each ring.

Spray a large grill pan with cooking spray and heat over a medium flame. Grill the pineapple, in 2 or 3 batches, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until it is nicely brown and grill marks have appeared. (You can also grill this on an outdoor grill sprayed with cooking spray before being heated.)

While the last batch of pineapple cooks, heat the butter, sugar and rum in a small saucepan over a low heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat.

Place a pineapple ring on each plate, scoop 1/4 cup of ice cream into the center of the ring, and drizzle about 2 teaspoons of sauce on top.

heavenly!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

this is a super dessert and everyone loved it. I made it even better with the addition of a light sprinkling of toasted... coconut on top--sort of the flavors of a pina colada!Read more

Delicious and unexpected!

This is perfect for a small grilling party. Everyone I've ever made this for loves it. It's so easy and yet has an exotic... quality to it. Pineapples are fantastic grilled. The rum sauce seems runny at first, but you don't need to cook it very long -- you just need it to cool down a tad before serving. It is supposed to be a consistency of maple syrup. At first, I didn't think I would like the sauce but now I have become addicted to it. It's fantastic over ice cream alone and next I'm going to try it drizzled over berries. Yum!Read more

It took me 15 minutes to make it all. I used canned pineapple and instead using grill, I used a pan. It's a perfect desert... and soooo good!!!!Read more

I did have to spend much longer boiling the sauce to get it to thicken, and even when cool it was a bit thin...but it also... didn't have a whole stick of butter in it, either!!Read more
