Ingredients

Time: 30 minutes

  • 1 pineapple cut into eighths keeping the stalks on
  • Light brown sugar
  • Cinnamon
  • 100g butter
  • Chopped mint

For the coconut custard

  • 2 x 400g tin full fat coconut milk (kept in the fridge so the solids and liquid separate)
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • Juice of 1 small lemon
  • 1 - 4 tbsp light brown sugar (depending on how sweet you like it!)

Method

  1. In a small bowl mix four teaspoons of brown sugar and one and a half teaspoons of cinnamon.
  2. Sprinkle this mixture on both sides of the pineapple.
  3. Heat the grill to a medium and cook the pineapple each side, turning regularly.
  4. Mix the butter with two teaspoons of cinnamon and three tablespoons of sugar.
  5. Baste the pineapple with the butter until caramelised on both sides.
  6. For the custard, take the solids from the can of coconut and bring to a boil in a small pot, add the sugar, lemon zest and nutmeg and leave to simmer until thickened then add the lemon juice.
  7. Plate up your pineapple slice with a dollop of warm custard. Spinkle freshly chopped mint on top.
