Instructions
 

Prepare the Pineapple

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil.
  • Whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl.
  • Cut the pineapple into rings or wedges (about 8 slices) and place them in a large resealable bag. Pour the brown sugar mixture over the pineapple and shake until evenly coated.

Grill the Pineapple

  • Grill the pineapple slices for 3-5 minutes per side, or until nicely caramelized and heated through. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Make the Coconut Caramel Sauce

  • In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Do not stir. Cook until the sugar dissolves and turns a light golden amber color (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from the heat.
  • Carefully whisk in the coconut milk and coconut cream. The mixture will bubble slightly. Whisk gently until smooth and combined.

Assemble and Serve

  • Arrange the grilled pineapple slices on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the coconut caramel sauce. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and cherries (optional). Serve immediately and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the brown sugar mixture.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can broil the pineapple slices in the oven. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
  • To make the caramel sauce extra smooth, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before drizzling over the pineapple.
  • Leftover grilled pineapple can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The caramel sauce should be stored separately and reheated gently before serving.
