- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 4 cups fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices or chunks
- 0.25 cup dark rum
- 0.25 cup pineapple juice
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 4 scoops vanilla bean ice cream
How to make Creole Pineapple Foster
- In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or sauté pan, melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter over medium heat until it starts to foam.
- Add 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the melted butter. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula until the sugar dissolves and forms a smooth, rich caramel sauce, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully add 4 cups of fresh pineapple slices or chunks to the pan. Cook the pineapple in the caramel sauce for 3-4 minutes on each side, turning once, until it is slightly softened and caramelized.
- Pour in 1/4 cup pineapple juice and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, stirring to combine with the caramel and pineapple. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Carefully pour 1/4 cup dark rum into the pan. If using a gas stove, tilt the pan slightly to ignite the rum with the flame, or use a long match or lighter to ignite the rum, standing back as it flares up.
- Allow the flames to subside naturally, shaking the pan gently to distribute the flaming liquid. This step burns off the alcohol, leaving behind the rich rum flavor.
- Once the flames have completely died down, return the skillet to very low heat for about 30 seconds, stirring the sauce to ensure the pineapple is well coated. The sauce should be slightly thickened.
- Immediately spoon the warm Creole Pineapple Foster over individual servings of vanilla bean ice cream. Serve without delay for the best taste and texture.
