We use this recipe as a topping for our Amaretto Pound Cake with Flambeed Pineapple but you can also serve it just with ice cream. Ingredients 8 rounds (each ¼ inch thick) peeled pineapple (1 small pineapple or ½ large) ½ cup sugar ½ cup amaretto (almond-flavored liqueur) ½ cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise, seeds scraped and reserved Pinch of salt Amaretto Pound Cake with Flambeed Pineapple Directions Cut each pineapple round into 4 wedges. Trim core from point of each wedge, and discard; set wedges aside. Heat sugar in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring, until sugar melts and turns golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add pineapple; toss to combine. Stand back, and carefully pour in liqueur; immediately tilt skillet slightly, and ignite alcohol. When flames subside and caramel melts, stir in cream, lemon juice, vanilla seeds, and salt. Reduce heat to medium; let sauce boil, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Spoon pineapple and sauce over cake slices, and serve immediately. Cook's Notes Never pour alcohol from the bottle onto food on the stove--any splashes can ignite. On an electric stove, carefully use a long match to ignite the alcohol. Rate it Print
