Rodizio Grill Hamilton Place's Pineapple Dessert
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- ¼ cup water
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup orange liqueur
- 1 pineapple, cored and sliced into 2-inch rings
- Vanilla ice cream, for topping
- Orange zest, to taste
- Mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large sauté pan, melt butter, and then add orange juice, water, brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil.
- Add orange liqueur, and flambé until alcohol dissipates. Simmer for an extra minute before adding pineapple rings. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes with the pineapple, turning occasionally.
- Place the pineapple rings on a plate and then divide the sauce between the servings, filling the core space (reserve a little to drizzle as a garnish).
- Top each pineapple ring with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a dash of orange zest. Drizzle the extra sauce on top, and garnish with a sprig of mint.
