Instructions

1.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, lime juice, and cinnamon (if using). Mix well.
2.
Brush the pineapple slices or wedges with the brown sugar mixture on both sides.
3.
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
4.
Grill the pineapple for 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the pineapple is slightly softened and caramelized.
5.
While the pineapple is grilling, toast the coconut flakes. You can do this in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden brown and fragrant (about 3-5 minutes). Alternatively, spread the coconut flakes on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown, watching carefully to prevent burning. Let cool.
6.
To serve, place a grilled pineapple slice or wedge on a plate. Top with a scoop of coconut ice cream and sprinkle generously with toasted coconut flakes.
7.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and/or lime wedges if desired.

Chef's Tips

Use a fresh, ripe pineapple for the best flavor and texture.

Don't overcook the pineapple on the grill, as it can become mushy. You want it to be slightly softened and have nice grill marks.

Watch the coconut flakes carefully while toasting, as they can burn easily.

For a richer flavor, try using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.

A sprinkle of sea salt on the pineapple before grilling can enhance the sweetness.
