Black Pepper Ice Cream With Drunken Pineapple Slices Food

DRUNKEN GRILLED PINEAPPLE SLICES

Steps:

• In a small bowl add the spiced rum and brown sugar and mix until sugar is dissolved.
• Place the pineapple spears in a shallow baking dish and pour the brown sugar and rum mixture over top. Cover and ace in the fridge for 2-4 hours flipping once halfway through to coat the other side with the rum mixture.
• Over medium-high heat preheat a grill pan or BBQ grill. Add the pineapple spears perpendicular to the grill grates so you can get those nice brown grill marks across the pineapple. Grill for about 3 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, pour the rum mixture left in the baking dish into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until slightly thickened and reduced to about ⅓. Remove from heat and stir in the butter, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
• Place 2-3 spears of pineapple on a plate and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle the Cinnamon Rum Sauce over top and serve.

NO-CHURN PINEAPPLE ICE CREAM SLICES

Steps:

• Cut off the top of the pineapple and discard. Use a pineapple corer to remove the flesh and core of the pineapple, making sure to go all the way to the bottom without piercing any holes; discard the core and save the flesh. Pat dry the inside of the hollowed-out pineapple with a couple of paper towels (this will ensure that the ice cream adheres), then place in the freezer to chill while you make the ice cream.
• Transfer half of the pineapple flesh (about 9 ounces) to a blender; save the other half for another use. Add the sweetened condensed coconut milk, vanilla and salt to the blender, then blend on high, scraping down the sides of the carafe with a rubber spatula as needed, until the mixture is very smooth, about 1 minute.
• Beat the heavy cream in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until it's fluffy and holds stiff peaks, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently fold half of the pineapple mixture into the whipped cream with a rubber spatula until combined. Fold in the remaining pineapple mixture until all is combined and no streaks remain.
• Spoon the pineapple mixture into the chilled, hollowed out pineapple. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and freeze until solid, at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
• If frozen overnight, let the pineapple thaw in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving. To serve, use a sharp long chef's knife to cut the pineapple lengthwise into quarters. Trim off the bottom, then slice each quarter crosswise into 1-inch-thick wedges (about 20 slices total). Serve immediately as is. Alternatively, dip the edges of each pineapple slice in the toasted coconut, then serve.

BLACK PEPPER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Warm the milk, sugar, peppercorns, salt and 1 cup of the half and half in a medium saucepan. (I heated it until it almost boiled.) Cover, remove from the heat, and let steep at room temperature for one hour.
• Rewarm the peppercorn-infused mixture. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm mixture into the yolks, then pour it all back into the saucepan.
• Quickly rinse the bowl, pour the remaining half and half into it, and set a mesh strainer on top.
• Stir the custard constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula until it thickens. Pour the custard through the strainer, pressing the peppercorns gently to extract as much flavor as possible.
• Discard the peppercorns and stir the custard into the cream.
• Chill thoroughly (4-6 hours, or 2 hours over an ice bath).
• Freeze according to your ice cream maker's directions.
