Gratineed Pineapple Recipes

GRATINEED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together coconut, cookie crumbs, and nuts; set aside. Whisk together sweetened condensed milk and rum; set aside.
• Cut core from each pineapple quarter; discard. Cut between skin and flesh of each quarter to separate. Arrange, skin sides down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with half of the sweetened-condensed-milk mixture. Sprinkle with coconut mixture; drizzle with the remaining sweetened-condensed-milk mixture. Bake until heated through and golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve warm.

PINEAPPLE AU GRATIN

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH CREAM

Steps:

• For the pineapple: Slice the pineapple into 1-inch rounds and place in a large bowl.
• Mix together the lime juice, coconut rum, agave syrup and salt in a small bowl. Add the marinade to the pineapple and gently toss to coat. Cover and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
• When ready, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the grill with the olive oil and grill the pineapple for about 3 minutes per side; there should be noticeable grill marks, but it should still be firm in texture. Remove to a serving platter.
• For the whipped cream: Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add the cream, agave syrup and the reserved lime zest. Whip until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To serve: Top the grilled pineapple with generous mounds of the whipped cream, scatter over mint leaves and drizzle with agave syrup.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill with a single layer of hot coals.
