Tippy Tuesday: Pineapple and Cinnamon Flambé with Vanilla Ice Cream

vanilla ice cream

🥗Healthier: frozen yogurt

💰Cheaper: whipped cream

Frozen yogurt provides a lower-calorie option while still being creamy.

Peel, core, and slice the pineapple into rings or chunks.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat until bubbling.

Add brown sugar and cinnamon to the skillet, stirring until combined and bubbling.

Add the pineapple pieces to the skillet, cooking until caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

Sprinkle salt over the pineapple to enhance flavors.

Carefully add rum to the skillet, allowing it to heat for a minute.

Ignite the rum with a long lighter or match, standing back as it flames.

Cook until the flames subside, about 1-2 minutes, stirring gently.

Remove the skillet from heat and let cool slightly.

Serve the flambéed pineapple warm over scoops of vanilla ice cream.
