Grilled Pineapple with Malibu and Coconut Milk
Fresh pineapple is marinated in creamy coconut milk and Malibu rum, then grilled until beautifully caramelized and tender. Finished with a touch of cinnamon and fresh mint, and served warm with vanilla ice cream, it’s a delicious combination of smoky, sweet and creamy flavours.
Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
- 1 grill pan or BBQ
Ingredients
- 1 fresh pineapple peeled & cored
- 1½ cups coconut milk
- 3 tbsp Malibou rum optional, but worth it
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- mint leaves to garnish optional
Instructions
- Peel and core the pineapple. Cut into approximately ½-inch slices and set aside.
- In a large resealable bag, combine the coconut milk and Malibu rum. Add the pineapple slices, seal the bag, and gently toss to coat. Refrigerate and marinate for 24 hours.
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat, or preheat your BBQ to 500°F (260°C). Remove the pineapple from the marinade and grill for 3–4 minutes per side, or until nicely caramelized with distinct grill marks and the pineapple begins to soften.
- Remove from the heat and arrange the grilled pineapple on a serving plate.
- Drizzle with a little of the remaining coconut milk marinade, then sprinkle with cinnamon and fresh mint.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
