Charred Pineapple with Spiced Honey and Coconut Ice Cream

Charring fresh pineapple under a broiler brings out roasted, caramel notes while also rendering the fruit tender and succulent. For ease, we use store-brought peeled and cored pineapple so the only prep that’s needed is cutting it into rings before broiling. A drizzle of spicy honey over the warm fruit and chilly ice cream (we especially like coconut ice cream, but vanilla is great, too) makes for a sublime combination.

Ingredients
  • 1

    store-bought peeled and cored whole pineapple (see note), cut into 8 rings (each about ½ inch thick)

  • ¼

    cup honey

  • 1

    tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger

  • ½

    teaspoon grated nutmeg

  • ½

    teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • Coconut ice cream OR vanilla ice cream, to serve

  • Optional garnish: Finely chopped crystallized ginger OR fresh mint OR both

Heat the broiler with a rack about 4 inches from the element. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place the pineapple rings in a single layer on it. Broil until deeply browned, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating halfway through. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the honey, ginger, nutmeg and pepper flakes. When the pineapple is done, transfer to individual plates. Top with ice cream, then drizzle with the honey.
