Grilled pineapple topped with vanilla ice cream and warm rum sauce is the ultimate summer dessert. Sweet, smoky, and caramelized, this easy recipe is bursting with tropical flavor and takes just minutes to make. Perfect for BBQs, dinner parties, or a simple treat.
Make rum sauce. Combine brown sugar, butter, rum, cream, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium heat; stir and simmer for 5–6 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened.
Grill pineapples. Lightly grease grill with spray oil or butter and heat to 400ºF. Add pineapple slices and cook for about 3 minutes on each side or until pineapple has golden brown grill marks on both sides.
Remove pineapple slices from grill. Let cool for 1-2 minutes then top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on each. Drizzle with cooled maple rum sauce and serve immediately.
