- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 5 scoops vanilla ice cream , for serving
- 1/4 cup toasted coconut , for serving
Instructions
- Peel and core 1 whole pineapple, then cut into 3/4-thick rings.
- Add 1 cup dark rum and 1 teaspoon vanilla to a shallow container. Add the pineapple rings, toss to coat, and make sure they're submerged in the liquid. Cover and soak the pineapple rings for several hours or overnight.
- After soaking, fully drain and pat dry the pineapple rings.

- When your grill is hot, oil the grates or coat generously with cooking spray.
- Grill pineapple for about 3 minutes per side, or until heated through and tender, but not mushy. (Alcohol can flair up over a flame, so be careful!)
- Remove from the grill and dredge both sides of each pineapple ring in the sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Transfer 2 pineapple rings to dessert bowls and top with 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream and sprinkle with toasted coconut. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Drizzle with honey. Simply grill the pineapple and drizzle with some honey.
Sweet and spicy. Add a bit of spice by sprinkling on a pinch of cayenne pepper. (Cayenne pepper and brown sugar together is amazing!)
Add some herbs. Sprinkle with fresh chopped herbs, like mint or basil.
