Say “Hello!” to warmer weather with delicious grilled pineapple with a big ol’ scoop of vanilla ice cream in the middle. It’s usually the most simple combinations that are the absolute best, am I right? If you haven’t discovered by now, magic happens when you grill or sear pineapple. The sugar in the fruit caramelizes into pure liquid gold. Top the warm pineapple ring with cool vanilla bean ice cream and it’s a delicious duo, not to mention so pretty too!
This dessert would be perfect for a gorgeous Spring day or warm Summer night, so make sure you pin it to your Pinterest boards for the upcoming months. Plus, with good pineapple available year round, this dessert would make any dinner party a hit.
You know that fiber-y core in the pineapple? There is such an easy way to make it edible. Even though it’s so tough to chew, there are great juices and flavor in it that you don’t want to waste. Next time you slice up a pineapple, don’t throw out the core…freeze it! When the core freezes, the tough fibers change and you can toss these little rounds into your next green smoothie for a little tropical flavor. You’ll have to try it!
Here’s a quick tip for cutting out that center core, grab a small circle cookie cutter…or in this case, a Christmas ornament shaped cookie cutter…whatever works, right?! Also a pairing knife to cut the ring from the outside shell works great too.
Now depending on the weather, you could grill the rings outside, or just sear them in a pan to get that golden brown color. Serve warm with a big cold scoop of vanilla and there you have such a simple yet delicious dessert.
