Grilled Pineapple With Coconut Cream Food

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH CREAM

Steps:

• For the pineapple: Slice the pineapple into 1-inch rounds and place in a large bowl.
• Mix together the lime juice, coconut rum, agave syrup and salt in a small bowl. Add the marinade to the pineapple and gently toss to coat. Cover and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
• When ready, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the grill with the olive oil and grill the pineapple for about 3 minutes per side; there should be noticeable grill marks, but it should still be firm in texture. Remove to a serving platter.
• For the whipped cream: Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add the cream, agave syrup and the reserved lime zest. Whip until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To serve: Top the grilled pineapple with generous mounds of the whipped cream, scatter over mint leaves and drizzle with agave syrup.

In a grill pan over high heat (or outdoor grill), grill pineapple rings for 3 to 5 minutes. Turn over and grill for an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to plate and set aside.
• To serve, place pineapple ring on plate with a scoop of Iced Coconut Cream. Top with any accumulated juice from pineapple. Sprinkle with toasted coconut.
