This was a tasty treat but the coconut and pineapple overwhelmed the subtle rum flavor in the ice-cream. It is best served alone or with just a sprinkle of toasted coconut.
Rum-Macadamia Ice Cream with Grilled Pineapple and Coconut
It's warm enough in the Keys to grill outdoors year-round. In less temperate climates, you can use a grill pan to cook the pineapple. Leftover ice cream is a treat served over waffles for a Boxing Day brunch. Change the liquor and nuts to vary the flavor of the ice cream.
