Found in All*You Magazine many years ago. I love making this dish for our family - very simple and I can tweak it with different toppings so it always seems just a bit different.

Provided by HokiesMom

Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Yield 6 bowls, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 whole fresh pineapple, cored (about 20 oz.)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
6 scoops vanilla ice cream or 6 scoops frozen yogurt
1/4 cup toasted almond, slivered
1/4 cup toasted coconut
2 bananas, sliced
fresh whipped cream
1 dash cinnamon

Steps:

  • Slice pineapple into eight rings and cut each ring into 8 pieces.
  • Warm butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. When butter begins to foam, add the pineapple and brown sugar (this is when you'd add the bananas if using that option).
  • Cook, stirring frequently and make sure you are turning the pineapple chunks over while stirring. This should take about 4-5 minutes - just until the pineapple is brown and all the sugar is dissolved.
  • Remove from heat and place into a shallow serving bowls and let cool 2-3 minutes.
  • Place a scoop of ice cream/frozen yogurt on each serving and top with other toppings if desired. Or you can serve with just a dollop of freshly whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h40m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 3/4-inch-thick rings
3/4 cup vanilla sugar (see note)
4 egg yolks
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Place the pineapple slices on a foil-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the sugar. Broil until the sugar is caramelized, about 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool and cut into small wedges.
  • In a medium metal bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 6 tablespoons of the sugar until thick and pale yellow. Whisk in the water. Place the bowl over a pan of hot but not simmering water. Whisk constantly until the mixture is very thick and warm, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and the vanilla extract and whip until firm. Stir a little of the egg mixture into the cream. Fold in remaining egg mixture.
