Pineapple Ice Cream Topping Recipes

Steps:

• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1-2 minutes or until heated through, stirring once. Serve with ice cream.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine all ingredients.
• Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to med-high, stirring until reduced to about 1 cup (about 3-5 minutes).
• Place in container with lid and allow to chill in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Prepare the ice cream layer: Line a 9-inch round cake pan with plastic wrap. Spread the ice cream in the pan using an offset spatula to create a smooth, even layer. Freeze until very firm, about 2 hours.
• Make the pineapple topping: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the sides of another 9-inch round cake pan. Stir the granulated sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Cook, gently swirling the pan but not stirring, until the mixture is light brown, 6 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully whisk in the butter. Pour the caramel into the prepared cake pan, quickly swirling to coat the bottom before the caramel hardens (use a rubber spatula if needed to push the caramel to the edges). Lay the whole pineapple slice in the center of the caramel, then lay the remaining half slices around the whole slice, all facing the same direction. Place 1 maraschino cherry half cut-side up in the center of each slice.
• Make the cake: Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the milk, sour cream and vanilla bean paste in a liquid measuring cup until smooth. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Reduce the speed to medium low and beat in the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk mixture, until combined. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula, then increase the speed to medium high and beat 30 more seconds.
• Pour the batter over the pineapple topping in the pan and spread in an even layer. Bake until well browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 minutes to 1 hour. Run a knife around the cake to loosen, then transfer to a rack and let the cake cool in the pan, 30 minutes. Invert the cake onto the rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the pineapple compote: Combine the dried pineapple, pineapple juice, brown sugar, lemon juice, water and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the pineapple is soft and the liquid is syrupy, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla bean paste. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse until the pineapple is finely chopped. Let cool.
• Assemble the cake: Clean the 9-inch round cake pan and line with plastic wrap, leaving a 2-inch overhang all around. Slice the cake in half horizontally with a long-serrated knife. Place the half without the pineapple cut-side up in the pan. Top with the pineapple compote and spread evenly. Unwrap the frozen ice cream disk and carefully place on top of the compote. Place the remaining cake half, pineapple-side up, on top of the ice cream. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight. Remove the cake from the pan, using the plastic wrap to help; transfer to a platter. Let the cake sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Cut the top and bottom off of the pineapple, peel and cut it crosswise into 8 rings, about 1/2-inch each. Use a spoon or apple corer to carve out the center core of each ring.
• Spray a large grill pan with cooking spray and heat over a medium flame. Grill the pineapple, in 2 or 3 batches, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until it is nicely brown and grill marks have appeared. (You can also grill this on an outdoor grill sprayed with cooking spray before being heated.)
• While the last batch of pineapple cooks, heat the butter, sugar and rum in a small saucepan over a low heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat.
• Place a pineapple ring on each plate, scoop 1/4 cup of ice cream into the center of the ring, and drizzle about 2 teaspoons of sauce on top.

Steps:

• Combine crushed pineapple, ice cream, milk and cinnamon in blender or food processor container. Cover; blend until smooth.

Steps:

• Drain pineapple, reserving juice; set pineapple aside. In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; stir in pineapple juice until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly., Remove from the heat; stir in the butter, vinegar, salt and pineapple. Serve over ice cream; sprinkle with walnuts.

Steps:

• Melt butter in skillet (I use an electric one because it's easier to control the heat).
• Add brown sugar and stir till sugar and butter are combined.
• Add pineapple and bring to a boil.
• Turn heat to medium (300°) and continue to cook till syrupy and thickened. This could take up to 30 minutes depending on ripeness of the pineapple.
• Serve warm over whatever you like.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium saute pan over low heat. Add sugar and stir until melted. Add pineapple, rum, if desired, and vanilla, and turn heat up to medium high.
• Cook, stirring, until liquid is reduced and pineapple is glazed, about 15 minutes. Be careful not to burn.
• Serve in bowls with a scoop of ice cream.

Steps:

• In the bottom of an 8 1/2-inch springform pan arrange the cake, cutting the pieces to fit in one layer, and freeze it while making the ice cream.
• Make the ice cream:
• In a heavy saucepan combine pineapple and 1/4 cup of the sugar and simmer the mixture, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, for 5 minutes. Drain the pineapple mixture in a fine sieve set over a bowl, reserving the syrup for another use. In a bowl whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, the cornstarch, a pinch of salt, the yolks, and the whole egg and add the milk, scalded, in a stream, whisking. In a heavy saucepan bring the custard to a boil over moderate heat, whisking, boil it, whisking, for 2 minutes, and strain it through a fine sieve into a metal bowl set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water. Stir in the pineapple mixture and vanilla, let the custard cool, stirring, and stir in the cream. Freeze the custard in an ice-cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions until it is frozen but still soft.
• Spoon the ice cream over the cake, spreading it evenly, and freeze the cake while making the topping.
• Make the topping:
• In a bowl beat the cream until it holds soft peaks and beat in the sugar and sour cream. Beat the mixture until it just holds stiff peaks and fold in the coconut gently but thoroughly.
• Spoon the topping over the ice cream, spreading it evenly, and freeze the cake, its surface covered with plastic wrap, overnight. Let the cake stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, remove the side of the pan, and transfer the cake to a serving plate. Sprinkle the coconut on top and serve the cake into wedges.
