4 tbs Lillikoug® syrup
1 slice pineapple
40g butter
1 tbs (or scoop) vanilla ice cream
1 pinch of shredded coconut

Method

Step 1 – The pineapple

Using a sharp knife, start by cutting off the top of the pineapple.
Next, cut the fruit from its skin by peeling around it with the knife.
Cut a slice of around 3-4 cm in thickness.
Remove the core from this slice using a cookie cutter (or an apple corer or knife).

Step 2 – The caramelised syrup

Melt 40g of chilled butter in a pan.
Add in the slice of pineapple and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Put the pineapple slice to one side.

In the same pan, deglaze by adding 4 tablespoons of Lillikoug® syrup.
Stir and then set aside the caramelised syrup for later.

Step 3 – Finishing touches and presentation

Place the slice of fried pineapple on a plate.

Cut the Lillikoug® in half along its width.
Place the bottom half in the middle of the pineapple.
Add a tablespoon of vanilla ice cream onto the Lillikoug®.
"Close" the sandwich by placing the top half of the Lillikoug® onto the vanilla ice cream.

Lastly, pour over a tablespoon of the caramelised syrup.
Finish your creation by sprinkling over the shredded coconut and lime zest.
