Description

Sweet and warmly spiced cinnamon fried pineapple is a quick and delicious dessert that pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream. This simple recipe transforms fresh pineapple into a caramelized treat with butter, honey, and cinnamon, making a flavorful end to any meal.


Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 1/2 small pineapple, cut into bite-sized pieces

Cooking Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • 2 tbsp. honey
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Serving

  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving


Instructions

  1. Prepare the pineapple: Cut the pineapple into small bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and caramelization. Refer to the video instructions for guidance on how to properly cut the pineapple.
  2. Heat the skillet and combine ingredients: Place a large skillet on medium heat and add butter, honey, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture to combine and allow it to warm up, infusing the flavors.
  3. Cook the pineapple: Add the pineapple pieces to the skillet. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden and caramelized, turning carefully to coat all sides with the cinnamon-honey glaze.
  4. Remove and serve: Once nicely fried, remove the pineapple from the skillet and transfer it to a plate for serving.
  5. Enjoy: Serve the warm cinnamon fried pineapple on its own or top it with vanilla ice cream for a deliciously indulgent dessert.

Notes

  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure not to overcook the pineapple to prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • For a vegan option, substitute butter with coconut oil and use a dairy-free ice cream.
  • Adjust honey amount according to desired sweetness.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the warm, caramelized texture.
