Pina Colada Caramelized Pineapple
Author: Crystal Cartier
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: Vegan
- 1 whole pineapple
- ¼ cup dark rum, like Meyers
- ¼ cup coconut cream (optional but insanely delicious)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch salt
- ¼+ cup dark brown sugar, to taste
- unsweetened coconut flakes, toasted stirring frequently in a dry pan on low heat until nicely browned
- coconut oil for brush grill racks
- Cut the thick skin and eyes from the pineapple. Slice into thick rings then core with either a cookie cutter or paring knife.
- Whisk together all ingredients except the toasted coconut (and oil for brushing) in a shallow baking dish and marinate pineapple rings for an hour.
- On a preheat grill to medium-high heat. Brush grill racks with coconut oil to prevent sticking. OR preheat an oiled skillet over medium heat.
- Grill/sear pineapple until you see grill marks and/or caramelization and the pineapple is heated through (about 5 minutes per side).
- You can reserve the marinade and serve it with the rings if you like. Then sprinkle each ring generously with the toasted coconut.
