Flambeed Pineapple Creme Brulee Recipes

Steps:

• Line baking sheet with foil. Using large sharp knife, quarter pineapple lengthwise through leafy top. Core each wedge. Cut pineapple flesh from peel of each wedge, keeping flesh in 1 piece. Set aside. Transfer pineapple shells to baking sheet. Cover leaves with foil to protect from heat.
• Preheat broiler. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add sugar, water and cinnamon. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Add rum to sauce; ignite with match. (Pineapple and sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover pineapple and sauce separately. Bring sauce to simmer before continuing.) Add pineapple wedges to skillet. Cook until heated through, turning to coat, about 4 minutes. Return pineapple to shells. Boil sauce until thick, about 2 minutes.
• Cut each pineapple wedge crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices, keeping shells intact. Spoon sauce over pineapple. Broil until sauce bubbles and browns slightly, about 3 minutes. Transfer to plates.

Steps:

• Cut each pineapple round into 4 wedges. Trim core from point of each wedge, and discard; set wedges aside.
• Heat sugar in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring, until sugar melts and turns golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add pineapple; toss to combine.
• Stand back, and carefully pour in liqueur; immediately tilt skillet slightly, and ignite alcohol. When flames subside and caramel melts, stir in cream, lemon juice, vanilla seeds, and salt. Reduce heat to medium; let sauce boil, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Spoon pineapple and sauce over cake slices, and serve immediately.
