Roasted Golden Pineapple With Spiced Whipped Cream Food

CARIBBEAN ROASTED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• On a plate, mix together the peppercorns, allspice, cinnamon and salt. Sprinkle the spice rub evenly over the pineapple or roll the pineapple in it so it is evenly coated.
• Heat a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the oil and place the pineapple in the pan. Cook, rotating the pineapple regularly, until light brown all over, about 3 minutes. Cover the pan and transfer to the oven. Roast until tender to the core when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 45 minutes. Uncover and allow the pineapple to cool to room temperature in the pan.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the cream, sugar and rum. Using a handheld mixer, beat on high speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.
• Slice the pineapple into 1-inch-thick rounds. Place 1 slice on each plate. Dollop with a spoonful of cream and a crumble of gingersnaps. Drizzle any remaining juice over the top.

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.

RUMMY PINEAPPLE AND CREAM

Steps:

• For the pineapple: Mix together the rum, brown sugar and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Add the pineapple and toss until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• For the coconut garnish: In a dry saute pan over medium-low heat, toast the coconut flakes until light golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Set a saute pan over medium heat. Add the butter and marinated pineapple, bring to a simmer and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.
• For the whipped cream: Just before serving, whip the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract until lightly thickened.
• Divide the pineapple between 2 bowls, spooning over the extra sauce. Top each bowl with half of the ice cream, whipped cream and toasted coconut.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Spray both sides of the pineapple rings with nonstick cooking spray. Rub the pineapple slices with the dark brown sugar.
• In a small chilled bowl, beat the cold whipping cream with an electric beater until it starts to thicken. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until it forms soft peaks. Add the rum and continue beating until medium stiff peaks form.
• Heat a grill or grill pan until very hot. Spray the grill with more nonstick cooking spray. Brush the pineapple slices with butter and lay the pineapple in a single layer on the grill until browned, turning once, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Add the pineapple and let roast until brown. Remove to a plate and allow to cool slightly.
• Arrange the pineapple slices on a serving platter, then add a large dollop of the chilled whipped cream to each slice. Serve 2 pineapple rings per person. Garnish; with small bunches of mint or a few mint leaves.
