Ingredients

Coconut Ice Cream:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup coconut flavored rum
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 large egg yolks

Flambeed Pineapples:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cups small diced fresh pineapple
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 to 1 cup dark rum
  • 1/4 cup toasted shredded sweetened coconut flakes, or more to taste
  • 4 round slices orange, for garnish
  • 4 maraschino cherries, for garnish

Directions

4 cocktail umbrellas, for garnish

To make the ice cream, in a large, heavy saucepan, combine the cream, coconut milk, whole milk, rum, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until pale yellow and frothy. Add about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture, and whisk to combine. Add the egg mixture to the saucepan with the remaining hot cream and whisk.

Return to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a heavy wooden spoon until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 4 to 5 minutes.

Remove from the heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean container. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 3 hours. Pour into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a plastic container and freeze until ready to serve. Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and when melted, add the pineapple. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Sprinkle the sugar over the pineapples and continue to cook until the sugar has completely dissolved and starts to bubble, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and add the rum. Return to the heat and carefully tip the pan to ignite the alcohol (or, alternately, light with a match). Remove from the heat when the flames extinguish.

To assemble the dessert, spoon 2 scoops of coconut ice cream in each of 4 frosted parfait glasses. Top each portion with 1/2 cup of the pineapple and the glaze. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the toasted coconut into each glass, and garnish with an orange wedge, maraschino cherry, and a cocktail umbrella.

    I love this ice cream. The texture is rich and creamy, and the recipe is easy to make and very delicious. I make this two days before I want to serve it, so it is nice and frozen to stand up to the hot gooey caramel pineapple sauce.

    This dessert is a year round crowd pleaser. Even in the winter when we have our Jimmy Buffet parties with the snow flying and the tacky hawaiian shirts and thermal under armor, everyone always stands in line for this dessert.

    Don't let the time it takes to make daunt you. It is even worth the additional pans for clean up.

    At Christmas time, we make snow balls with this ice cream. Just scoop up the ice cream into balls, roll them in coconut and stick them in the freezer to harden up. Then you can serve them stacked on a platter for a crowd and not miss the fun.
