Caramelized Pineapple and Creme Caramel with Banana Ice Cream
- 1 cup sugar, plus 3 tablespoons
- 2 drops vanilla extract
- 10 ounces warm milk
- 2 egg yolks
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 pineapple, peeled, cored, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup rum
- 3 drops vanilla extract
- 6 scoops banana ice cream, store bought
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
- Begin by making the caramel as this is needed for the creme caramel and the pineapple.
- Place 1 cup of sugar in a heavy saucepan over high heat and cook until a bronze color.
- Swirl the pan as it begins to color to mix the sugar and caramel.
- Once the caramel has reached its color, very carefully pour a little of the caramel, just enough to cover the bottom, into 6 (2-ounce) timbales or ramekins.
- Using the remaining caramel, add the orange juice, rum, and vanilla extract to the pan.
- Return to the stove to dissolve the caramel.
- When all is melted, pour the caramel mixture over the pineapple slices and combine all of the ingredients for the pineapple marinade.
- Allow the mixture to cool for approximately 3 to 4 hours and refrigerate.
- To make the creme caramel, combine the warm milk and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks, eggs, and remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar and beat well.
- Mix the warm milk and the egg mixture well to make a thin custard.
- Pour the custard into the ramekins, place in a deep tray, fill with 1 inch of hot water, and place in the oven for approximately 20 to 25 minutes until set.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
- To serve, use a small knife and score the outside rim of the ramekins to help release the creme caramels.
- Turn creme caramels onto a plate, add a few slices of caramelized pineapple and raisins, drizzle a little of the juice around the plate, and finish with a scoop of banana ice cream.
