Grilled Pineapple with Pound Cake and Rum-Caramel Sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 small pineapple, peeled and cut in 1/2
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 store-bought pound cake, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
- Maraschino cherries, optional
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over high heat, add the brown sugar and rum and cook, whisking until the sugar has melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Whisk in the heavy cream and cook until heated through and slightly thickened.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl, keep warm.
- Heat the grill to high.
- Brush the pineapple on both sides with the oil and place on the grill.
- Grill until golden brown and caramelized on both sides, about 6 minutes.
- Remove from the grill, stack the slices and cut into chunks.
- While the pineapple is grilling, place the pound cake on the grill until lightly golden brown on both sides, about 20 seconds on each side.
- Remove the pineapple from the grill and, when cool enough to handle, either slice or cut into chunks.
- Top each piece of pound cake with some of the pineapple and drizzle with the caramel-rum sauce.
- Top with more pound cake, vanilla ice cream and a maraschino cherry, if desired.
