Ingredients

Rum Sauce:

Pineapple:

Assembly:

Directions

Special equipment:
a ridged griddle pan
  1. For the rum sauce: Add the coconut sugar to a small pan on medium-low heat, and let it start to warm up.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
