For the rum sauce: Add the coconut sugar to a small pan on medium-low heat, and let it start to warm up.
Meantime, in a small measuring cup or mixing bowl, stir the milk and cornstarch together until smooth with no lumps. Slowly pour the milk/cornstarch mixture into the coconut sugar (it doesn’t have to have melted), stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. You want a nice, gentle bubbling heat.
Add the rum and continue to stir until nicely caramelized and thickened to a consistency that is glossy and coats the back of the wooden spoon. Turn off the heat. Finally stir in the plant-based cream.
For the pineapple: Preheat a ridged griddle pan (or grill) and lightly oil. Sprinkle the pineapple slices with the ground cinnamon. Grill on both sides for a couple of minutes, until caramelized and there are nice grill marks. Remove from the heat and pour over the lime juice.
For the assembly: Put a slice of grilled pineapple on a plate, top with a scoop of vegan ice cream and then drizzle over the rum sauce. Finish with a sprinkle of lime zest.
Cook’s Note
The pineapple is also great cooked on the BBQ.
