Caramelized Pineapple Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter and sugar in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Increase the heat to high. Add the pineapple and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and coated in caramel, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the vanilla and salt. Divide the pineapple sauce among 4 sundae dishes. Top each dish with 1 scoop of ice cream and some chocolate sauce.

Steps:

• Core and peel pineapple. Slice it lengthwise into eighths.
• Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Coat pineapple wedges with sugar; place in hot pan. Cook, turning once and shaking pan often, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove pineapple.
• Stir 3 tablespoons water into pan, and heat briefly; drizzle over pineapple. Serve with frozen yogurt, if desired.

Steps:

• Slice pineapple into eight rings and cut each ring into 8 pieces.
• Warm butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. When butter begins to foam, add the pineapple and brown sugar (this is when you'd add the bananas if using that option).
• Cook, stirring frequently and make sure you are turning the pineapple chunks over while stirring. This should take about 4-5 minutes - just until the pineapple is brown and all the sugar is dissolved.
• Remove from heat and place into a shallow serving bowls and let cool 2-3 minutes.
• Place a scoop of ice cream/frozen yogurt on each serving and top with other toppings if desired. Or you can serve with just a dollop of freshly whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium to large saute pan over medium heat.
• Place the pineapple slices (no more than 1/2 inch thick) over the melted butter in the pan. Sprinkle with the brown sugar.
• Baste the pineapple by tilting the pan a bit to scoop some of the butter/sugar mixture and pouring it over the pineapple slices. Cook for about 3-4 mins per side.
• Continue to baste every so often to incorporate the flavor of the butter and brown sugar.
• When cooked, place slices on plates and drizzle some of the sauce it cooked in over top. Serve with vanilla ice cream to make EXTRA delicious! Pour some of the sauce over that as well. VERY hot, let cool a little before serving.
• Enjoy :).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, sift dry ingredients well. Add remaining ingredients except melted butter. Mix until batter is well combined using a whisk. Fold in melted butter and pour into a 9 by 13-inch baking pan. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into 3-inch squares and serve with Caramelized Pineapple.
• In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar. Add vanilla. Fold in diced pineapple and continue to cook until mixture has thickened.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF. Prepare and bake pie crust in 9-inch pie plate as directed on package for unfilled one-crust pie. Meanwhile, melt butter in medium skillet on medium-high heat. Stir in brown sugar until well blended. Add pineapple; stir to evenly coat. Cook 5 min. or until pineapple is caramelized and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat; set aside.
• Beat cream cheese and granulated sugar in medium bowl until well blended. Add eggs and extract; beat until well blended. Stir in coconut. Pour cream cheese mixture into crust. Top with caramelized pineapple. Reduce oven temperature to 350ºF.
• Bake 25 min. or until wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 min. Serve warm or completely cooled topped with the whipped topping. Store any leftover pie in refrigerator.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over low heat, combine coconut milk and 135 grams (2/3 cup) sugar. Cook gently, stirring and scraping down the sides of the pan occasionally, until mixture is a deep caramel color, smooth and spreadable, about 1 1/2 to 3 hours, depending on how powerful your stove is. The mixture should remain at a low simmer; do not let it come to a boil. Scrape into a bowl or container and let cool thoroughly, then chill for at least 2 hours and up to 5 days before serving.
• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Spread coconut on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden around the edges, 8 to 12 minutes. Let cool.
• Toss pineapple with remaining 25 grams (2 tablespoons) sugar. Let fruit stand until sugar dissolves, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Heat broiler and arrange an oven rack in the position closest to the flame. Spread fruit on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil 4 minutes. Stir, then broil until well-caramelized and charred in places, 3 to 4 minutes more.
• Spoon dulce de leche into 6 ramekins. Top each with warm pineapple and toasted coconut; sprinkle with salt if using and serve.

Steps:

• Cut the skin off the pineapple, then cut it lengthways into quarters and remove the core from each piece. Chop the flesh roughly and purée in a food processor or blender until creamy. Pour the purée into a large sieve set over a bowl, and leave to drain in the fridge overnight. Do not stir.
• Next day, pour the juice from the bowl into a freezerproof container. Freeze until solid (at least 4 hours).
• Now caramelise the flesh. At this stage, in the restaurant, we rub the flesh through a sieve with the back of a ladle to make it very creamy. It's not vital, but it makes this dessert extra-special. Tip the sugar into a medium-sized frying pan and stir in 2 tbsp cold water. Stand for 5 minutes before heating slowly over a gentle heat, shaking the pan until the sugar dissolves into a clear syrup. When all the crystals have dissolved, raise the heat and cook to a medium golden colour. Tip in the pineapple flesh and cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until flavoured and slightly reduced. Remove and cool, then keep in a covered container in the fridge until ready to serve (The purée will keep for up to 2 days.)
• When the pineapple juice has frozen, scrape it into icy shavings using a large metal spoon. Place in another container and keep frozen until ready to serve.
• To serve, divide the purée between 8 shot or small wine glasses and top with yogurt. (They can be chilled for up to 4 hours at this point.) Remove the shavings from the freezer and spoon over the yogurt. Top each glass with a Frosted coriander sprig and serve with Coconut tuiles.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Place the pineapple slices on a foil-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the sugar. Broil until the sugar is caramelized, about 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool and cut into small wedges.
• In a medium metal bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 6 tablespoons of the sugar until thick and pale yellow. Whisk in the water. Place the bowl over a pan of hot but not simmering water. Whisk constantly until the mixture is very thick and warm, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and the vanilla extract and whip until firm. Stir a little of the egg mixture into the cream. Fold in remaining egg mixture.
• Spoon a little of the custard into 6 narrow wine glasses. Top with a layer of pineapple, turning the pieces near the edge of the glass so that the caramelized side shows. Continue the layers, ending with the filling. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Make flan:
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 325°F. Place 9-inch-diameter cake pan with 1 1/2-inch-high sides in oven. Bring lime juice to simmer in small saucepan. Remove from heat; cool.
• Stir sugar and 1/4 cup water in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until deep amber color, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 6 minutes. Pour hot caramel into hot cake pan; using oven mitts, tilt cake pan to coat bottom evenly. Set aside.
• Stir reduced-fat milk and cornstarch in 1-cup glass measuring cup to blend. Combine condensed milk, lime peel and lime juice in large bowl. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean. Stir to blend. Stir in egg substitute, then cornstarch mixture. Pour custard over caramel in pan. Place cake pan in large roasting pan. Add enough hot water to roasting pan to come halfway up sides of cake pan. Cover roasting pan with foil.
• Bake custard until set around edges and center 4 inches still moves when pan is gently shaken, about 50 minutes (do not overbake or custard will curdle). Transfer cake pan to rack and let flan cool. Cover and refrigerate flan overnight.
• Make pineapple:
• Spray large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray. Place skillet over high heat. Add 8 pineapple slices to skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drizzle 1 tablespoon lime juice over pineapple. Using spatula, transfer pineapple to plate. Wipe out skillet, then spray with more nonstick spray. Repeat with remaining 8 pineapple slices and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Cut pineapple slices diagonally in half. Sprinkle with chopped mint.
• Run small knife around cake pan sides to loosen flan. Invert flan onto platter. Cut into wedges; serve with pineapple.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler and line a shallow baking pan with foil.
• Trim pineapple leaves to about 2 inches. Quarter pineapple lengthwise, reserving 2 quarters for another use. Cut and discard cores from remaining quarters. With a sharp knife cut fruit from rinds, keeping rinds intact and reserving them. Cut pineapple crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• In a small saucepan cook butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and rum over moderate heat, stirring, 1 minute. Add pineapple, stirring to coat, and cook mixture 1 minute.
• Put reserved rinds in baking pan and with a fork and spoon return pineapple pieces to rinds, arranging in original shape. Spoon remaining butter mixture over pineapple and sprinkle tops with remaining tablespoon brown sugar. Broil pineapple about 3 inches from heat until slightly charred and heated through, about 8 minutes.
• Serve caramelized pineapple with ice cream.
