Baked Pineapple Dessert
Description
Baked Pineapple Dessert features pineapple slices topped with brown sugar and baked at a high temperature until the edges caramelize. The brown sugar melts and browns, enhancing the pineapple's natural sugars and creating a crisp, golden layer. The pineapple slices soften but retain some texture, balancing the sweet and slightly tangy fruit with the molasses notes of brown sugar.
Serving the warm baked pineapple with vanilla ice cream adds a creamy, cool element that complements the caramelized fruit. This dessert is uncomplicated, relying mainly on fresh pineapple, brown sugar, and ice cream to deliver a satisfying sweet finish to a meal.
If using canned pineapple slices, watch them carefully as they cook faster due to thinner cuts. This dish works well as a quick sweet treat after dinner or as a simple dessert whenever fresh pineapple is available.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 pineapple
- 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Slice pineapple to desired thickness (mine were about ½" thick and my small pineapple yielded 7 slices).
- Place the pineapple on a foil lined cookie sheet.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the pineapple slices.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges of the pineapple are golden brown.
- Serve topped with ice cream and enjoy!
Notes
- Using fresh pineapple typically yields the best texture, though canned pineapple slices may be used if careful with baking time.
- If using canned pineapple, check for doneness after 10 minutes as they tend to cook and caramelize faster than fresh slices.
