Creamy Coconut and Rum Baked Pineapple

Submitted by Shuzbud

"I came up with this as a solution to leftover coconut milk and a fresh pineapple. And even on Weight Watchers, it was worth saving points for this dessert. The whole recipe has a total of 8 points. The rum for this dessert should be golden- a light rum will not produce the same depth of flavour. Number of servings will depend on the size of pineapple used- increase the sauce if using a large pineapple."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 2-3

ingredients

• 1 medium fresh pineapple
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (I use Brown Sugar Splenda)
• 3 tablespoons coconut milk
• 3 tablespoons golden rum
• whipped cream (optional topping)

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F or 150°C (this is the temperature I use although my oven is fan-assisted so if yours is not, you may wish to use a higher temperature).
2. Peel and core the pineapple. Slice it into bite-size chunks and lay flat in one layer on a baking tray (I use pyrex).
3. Scatter the brown sugar/brown sugar Splenda evenly over the top.
4. In a glass, mix the coconut milk with the rum. Pour over the pineapple and put in the oven.
5. Cook for 30-35 minutes uncovered, turning and stirring every 10 minutes.
6. Serve the pineapple chunks warm with the sauce drizzled over the top. Whipped cream would also be a good addition!

I used this over vanilla ice cream and thought it was wonderful. I sprinkled it with a little nutmeg before I put it in the oven. The rum was very subtle and I thought next time I might even use some spice rum in the recipe. Made for ZWT7

This made for a GREAT dessert tonight. Loved the flavor, the coconut milk/rum combo gave it a nice, but subtle taste. I did leave out the whipped topping, and for those who have any question on the baking time, I baked mine for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. A keeper here. Made for PRMR tag..
