Pineapple Rum Ice Cream Recipes

RUMMY PINEAPPLE AND CREAM

Steps:

• For the pineapple: Mix together the rum, brown sugar and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Add the pineapple and toss until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• For the coconut garnish: In a dry saute pan over medium-low heat, toast the coconut flakes until light golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Set a saute pan over medium heat. Add the butter and marinated pineapple, bring to a simmer and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.
• For the whipped cream: Just before serving, whip the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract until lightly thickened.
• Divide the pineapple between 2 bowls, spooning over the extra sauce. Top each bowl with half of the ice cream, whipped cream and toasted coconut.

RUM-ROASTED PINEAPPLE AND SUGARED PECANS WITH VANILLA BEAN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• For the pineapple: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Begin by peeling the pineapple and cutting it into 1/2-inch-thick planks approximately 2 by 2 inches wide; discard the core. Arrange in a single layer in a roasting pan. Whisk together 1/2 cup water, the rum, sugar, vanilla and salt, and then pour over the pineapple. Sprinkle the top with a little extra sugar, if desired, then roast until caramelized, 17 to 18 minutes. When done, remove the pineapple from the pan and allow to cool slightly before dicing.
• For the pecans: Arrange the pecans in a baking sheet and toast until slightly darkened and fragrant, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before adding the butter to the baking sheet. Immediately toss the baking sheet to coat the pecans as the butter melts. Sprinkle evenly with the sugar and salt and toss once more. Set aside on a plate to cool.
• To assemble, place 2 to 3 scoops of vanilla bean ice cream in a bowl. Top with 2 to 3 spoonfuls of rum-roasted pineapple and garnish with sugared pecans.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM AND RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the top and bottom off of the pineapple, peel and cut it crosswise into 8 rings, about 1/2-inch each. Use a spoon or apple corer to carve out the center core of each ring.
• Spray a large grill pan with cooking spray and heat over a medium flame. Grill the pineapple, in 2 or 3 batches, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until it is nicely brown and grill marks have appeared. (You can also grill this on an outdoor grill sprayed with cooking spray before being heated.)
• While the last batch of pineapple cooks, heat the butter, sugar and rum in a small saucepan over a low heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat.
• Place a pineapple ring on each plate, scoop 1/4 cup of ice cream into the center of the ring, and drizzle about 2 teaspoons of sauce on top.

SAUTéED PINEAPPLE WITH RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut off and discard core from pineapple quarters, then cut each quarter lengthwise into 5 pieces.
• Heat 1/2 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until just melted, then add walnuts and cook, stirring, until a shade darker, about 2 minutes. Transfer walnuts with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and wipe skillet clean.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté one third of pineapple, turning over occasionally, until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Sauté remaining pineapple in 2 batches in same manner, using 1 tablespoon butter per batch and transferring to platter.
• While last batch of pineapple cooks, heat sugar, rum, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Serve pineapple with sauce spooned on top and sprinkled with walnuts.
