Ingredients

  • 8 ¾- inch-thick rounds of pineapple peeled and cored
  • butter-flavored cooking spray
  • 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tablespoons silver rum
  • ¼ cup sweetened coconut flakes toasted, for serving
  • fresh mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  • 1. Spray the pineapple slices with the cooking spray on both sides and rub with the dark brown sugar.
  • 2. Beat the heavy cream with an electric hand mixer on high speed in a chilled medium bowl until it thickens. Add the confectioners’ sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Beat in the rum until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • 3. Heat a rimmed grill pan over high heat until very hot. In batches, add the pineapple to the pan and grill until seared with grill marks, turning once, about 3 minutes. (The pineapple can also be grilled on an outdoor grill over medium heat.) Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly.
  • 4. For each serving, place 2 pineapple slices on a dessert plate. Top with a dollop of the rum cream, sprinkle with a tablespoon of coconut, and garnish with a mint sprig. Serve immediately.

Notes

I cut my pineapple a little different.
