WHITE PINEAPPLE COBBLER WITH VANILLA BEAN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the butter and sugar in a small mixing bowl with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg and scrape down the side of bowl. Beat on low speed and add the remaining 2 eggs and vanilla extract. Add the flour all at once and beat until just combined. Remove from bowl and press down to form a 1/2-inch-thick disk of dough. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before working with it.
• To make the strussel, cream together the butter and sugars until smooth and light. Rub in the flour until it resembles a coarse pea shape. Add in the nuts and rub until everything comes together. Store in refrigerator until ready to use or up to 4 weeks.
• For the filling, melt the butter in a saute pan and add all of the spices. Peel and core the pineapple and cut into bite size pieces. Add the pineapple to the spice mixture and saute until all the juices start to blend together. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Roll the sugar dough to about 1/8-inch thick and place into a greased tart pan. Fill with the cooled pineapple filling and cover with the strussel. Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Serve with 2 scoops of vanilla bean ice cream.

ROASTED PINEAPPLE WITH RUM-VANILLA SAUCE AND COCONUT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Turn off the heat once the sauce has thickened - about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the rum and the vanilla scrapings and stir to combine.
• Cut the top and bottom off the pineapple. Stand the pineapple up and slice off the rind from top to bottom. Then cut it into thirds, lengthwise. Cut the wedges in half, the short way, so you have 6 thick chunks. Remove the cores.
• Put the pineapple wedges onto a nonstick cookie sheet and ladle them with half of the rum sauce. Bake for 30 minutes, then switch the oven to broil and cook until the pineapple is caramelized - about 10 to 15 minutes. Watch carefully to make sure it doesn't burn.
