Rum Infused, Grilled Pineapple with Coconut Topping.
With or without some homemade coconut ice cream, this one will surely be a huge hit at your next BBQ. Maybe it’s just a casual weekend “lime” with friends and you want to wow them with a simple but outstanding dessert.
You’ll need:
1 ripe pineapple
2-3 tablespoons of dark rum
1 teaspoon of granulated sugar
1/2 cup of whipped topping (try to avoid the canned stuff.. get some whipping cream and make your own – musch more tasty)
1/4 cup of shredded coconut.
Peel pineapple and cut crosswise into 6 slices. Place in a bowl and drizzle the rum and sugar over the slices. Mix around so every piece gets coated (would be nice to let it sit for about 3-5 minutes – covered so the rum does not evaporate). On a medium hot grill, place the slices for about 10 minutes, turning once. Remember to watch closely since the sugars can burn and become overly charred.
Top with the whipped cream and shredded coconut… feel free to add a nice heaping scoop of your favorite ice cream.

Unable to recipes.
Hi chris…it’s Gloria nice of you to send those recipes….love the bbq ribs…last week I made the pineapple chow was delicious!! Thank you again 👍😁
Hi Chris,
Thank you for these great recipes. I have tried some of them and they are realy good. Sometimes I do not know what to cook on Sundays. I wish I can see a heading saying “Sunday lunches” that would be awesome.take care and God bless to each and every one.
Diana.
Thanks very much for your recipes. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a delicious new year.
Happy Holidays and thanks for your kind support.
Great recipes, Do you have a recipe for different types of fudge
Wow look’s wicked for my Caribbean dinner this weekend, plan on using a couple of you’re recipes! Thanks Chris.
Thanks for yr response re coconut topping. I would also love to try the curry shrimp but can’t have the coconut milk. What can I use as a substitute in this case?
Unless you are allergic to coconut, guess what? The oil that makes coconut creamy is very healthy and burns fat! Yes, it is one of those special fats that actually burns fat off your body. I put a spoon full of coconut oil in my breakfast power shake every morning. It is one of the few tasty fats in the world that is actually very healthy on multiple levels.
This looks great but would appreciate if u could suggest a substitute for the coconut. Thanks
you can always leave out the coconut.
Hi Chris. Tried this today and I must say it is delicious funny you sent this because I bought a pineapple last week and trying to figure out what I could do with it beside trim and eat it. I also will making the mango hot wings will let you know how that turns iut.
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the recipe will definitely try it. God bless
Hi Chris, my name is Cheryl. I have been watching your videos for some time now & I like everyone of them. I never used to leave a comment before. This is the first comment I am posting. Your recipes are very good and I appreciate that you share them with us. Keep up the good work. Blessings!!!!
Thanks Cheryl.. always a pleasure to get feedback. Happy Cooking!
Well spent my rainy morning perusing your entire site, and I am missing a good Conki recipe. Don’t tell me they don’t make that in Jamaica.It’s made with grated sweet potatoes and grated coconut , a bit of hot pepper and sugar, all- spice and ginger , and some ground cloves then its all wrapped in a banana leaf and steamed or boiled till firm and cooked .Some peple add raisins . On St. Kitts as a kid it was also considered a Christmas Fare along with the sorrel and Maubi and ginger bear drinks and lets not forget the dark Christmas Cake.
Oh chris,
I had some pineapple, I started making the dessert, so I put in the rum essence and sugar and left it to soak, my husband thought I left it for him and ate all, he said it taste good, especially with the rum essence,(I used instead of rum) but my friend gave me two small pineapples so i’m waiting for them to ripe. when I make it again, I will let you know how it came out and if I like it.
Hi Chris thanks again for another great receipe . Would have to try this sometime. Looking forward to see what else you have up your sleeves!!!!!
Hello Chris I always try out your recipes. Whenever I am looking for something different I always go to Caribbeabpot.com.
i will definately try this.i am feeling this.
Hi, Chris:
Hope you are having a great Saturday! Over here it has been raining since yesterday, and is cool! Thank you for your recipes, they are great! I do not have a grill, but will find a way to try this one!
Love,
Jean.
i am hooked thanks for your great dishes
looks delicious
In a word: YES! YES! YES!
Hi Chris. Love this recipe. I’ve emailed it to my future daughter-in-law, who I know will love it to. Here in the UK , it’s sunny & uncomfortably hot, so this recipe couldn’t have arrived at a better time. Thanks. X
Hi chris love ur recipes defo gona try this one looks delish
Hi Chris,
I live in the US, i have never taste such good eating until i was recommended to try your recipes from a friend who live in the Carribbean Islands-So far so good and delicious. I will try the pineapple dessert as well. Keep up the good cooking I do enjoy.
thanks a lot Chris love pineapples greetings from Venezuela
Love pineapple, however, it does not like me. Maybe the rum will stop the itching, willing to give this a try.
Hey Chris –Sylvia in Barbados….love your work, this treat is mmmmh. Thank you so much for being there for all of us Caribbean foodies.
I would love to try this. What to susstitute for the rum as I do not drink alchol
This is very good with grated lime rind added to the rum marinade, and prepared slightly differently. I had it Ghana, and we used chilled evaporated milk as we had no whipped cream. Put sugar, rum, 1/2 cup evaporated milk, and coconut into a blender and blend. Add to chunky-cut pineapple and let sit for a while before serving. I am sure that grilling the pineapple would be delicious.
omg am gonna love it
Hey Chris, i love to watch you cook, and your recipes taste great to boot. Wish my bajan husband would try and do some cooking, but i’m the only west indian in our house now, that the kids are gone. I cook a lot of caribean food, even though i am totally european white on the outside LOL. Thanks for your generous efforts…. Leets
Hmmm… interesting! Have to remember to try this 🙂

Hi Chris, first let me say may the good Lord Almighty bless you and enlarge your territory may his hand be with you to keep you and direct you . For all that you've done and about to do in the lives of people who can and cannot cook I must say the your free EBook is incredible, remarkable and well worth it. Your heart is in the cooking and your bless my heart with your simplified methods. You remind me of Sylvia Hunte how I miss her cooking but now faith has it you have filled her shoes. I don't care who has negatives to say but you are a true and blessed CHEF OF THE CARIBBEAN MAY YOU BE CATAPULTED INTO GREATNESS BY THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD.
This looks wonderful. I am definitely trying this at my next cookout. Thanks Chris

thank you your detailed cooking pot off or on is very important little tricks tips go a long way makes the dish , the machine that makes shoe string potatos I cannot find in montreal do you Chris ?? let me know what you think lily
The recipes are awesome, I am hooked, the comment you make about your childhood and the food reminds me so much of my childhood in the islands, the koolaide with the stains on my uniform, the vendors living next door to the school, the tamarind and the tamarnd balls were and still is a hit for me. My month is watering just seeing the recipe. LOL. I can now make lots of carribbean recipes.
Hi Chris, All your recipes look absolutely great. I like the way you put the step by step pictures, from ingredients to finished products. It really helps in knowing how the dish is supposed to look .
I've recently picked some giant zucchinis and it's quite intimidating to look at. I am looking for ways to cook them. Any ideas? I've roasted some with olive oil salt and pepper and they were great.
Hi Chris
Gr8 recipe. Next time you can try toasting the shredded coconut to bring out d flavour.
Keep up the good work
Ann
i grilled the pineapples before but not with rum i got to try that one
Dramatic variation on this recipe which is a great family favourite when entertaining and can use either pineapple or bananas.
1 medium pineapple (skinned and cut into 8 slices lengthwise) or 4 large bananas (cut in half lengthwise)
1 oz butter
1 tablespoons brown sugar
3-4 tablespoons rum
In a saute pan (frying pan at least 3 inches deep with a long handle) large enough to saute all of the fruit at once, melt the butter and cook the fruit in the melted butter until it softens and starts to brown a little at the edges, turning once. Sprinkle on the brown sugar and allow to start melting. Pour on the rum and allow to heat. Remove from heat and light rum with a match. You should have a pan of dessert with blue flames which you can take in to a hot mat on you dinner table. Looks fab. Serve with double cream. Absolutely yummy. Serves 4.
Hi Chris
Ellen would like to know if you have a recipe for pineapple salad dressed with corriander.
I always wanted to make this.
My email add: [email protected]
Thank You for all the recipes that you send me.
Hi Chris thank you for sending these wonderful recipes including this one .You really enjoy cooking ! I plan to try some of them in my spare time. Keep up the good work
Chris I buy frozen grated coconut for my sweetbread in the states. I normally get it from the phillipino groceries. I recently found one made by GOYA in a regular grocery. It is not sweetened like the one used in baking, so it is perfect and already moist so no pre soaking required. Try it and tell me what you think.
chris i tried the pelau recipe it was delicious…………. I was wondering do u hav a recipe for red velvet cake
Hi Chris,
I have made most of your recipes and they were very good.
I really love the caribbean black and i love to make it some day .
So since Christmas is around the corner i was wondering if you have a good black cake recipe to share.
Enjoying your recipes. Thanks
Hi chris, I'm from louisiana and a newcomer to cooking caribbean food, recently met a friend who lives in tobago so it's exciting to prepare meals from trinidad & tobago. The only thing is that I don't know any store in the area that sales all the ingredients you use. I recently found a website called Sam's caribbean online which the store is actually in New York where i could purchurse things and have them delivered via mail. Thanks for your step by step pictures and finished meal. Everything you post seems absolutely delicious.
Most grocery stores have alot of the ingredients you need for Carribean cooking..What is it that you are ordering from the website?
Looks good.
Looks yummy Chris!
Thanks.
I need more recipes please
you have a couple options.. keep checking the site every few days as it's updated with new recipes quite often and you can also click on the top right side of the page where it says "Caribbean recipes Sent to your Inbox".

p.s. Liza. Though I didn't see that episode, I'm a huge fan of Giada and did see it mentioned online that she cooked stew chicken (close enough to our way). BTW, 2 of our daughters pretend they are Giada and Barefoot Contessa (Ina Garten) when they cook.
