1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon of lime juice
1 tbsp of butter or coconut oil
Vanilla ice cream (optional, to serve)

Preparation

1
Prepare the pineapple:
2
Peel the pineapple and cut it into thick slices (about 1 cm).
3
In a bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Rub the pineapple slices with this mixture to coat them evenly.
4
Grilling the pineapple:
5
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
6
Lightly grease the grill with coconut oil or butter.
7
Place the pineapple slices on the grill and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until well marked and lightly caramelized.
8
Prepare the rum sauce:
9
In a small saucepan, melt the butter or coconut oil over low heat.
10
Add the rum, the remaining brown sugar, and the lime juice. Stir well until the mixture thickens slightly and forms a syrupy sauce.
11
Let it simmer for about 3 to 5 minutes so that the alcohol evaporates and the flavors concentrate.
12
Assemble and serve:
13
Arrange the grilled pineapple slices on plates.
14
Pour the hot rum sauce generously over the pineapple.
15
For a touch of freshness, serve the grilled pineapple with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).
