Not great. I didn't have spiced rum so I added a dash of allspice and cinnamon. I really enjoyed the fresh pineapple more.

Have now served this twice. Made to directions, very simple but pretty on the plate and yummy. Recommend French vanilla ice cream, if you can buy it low-fat. Nice ending to CL's sesame-soy meatballs.

Easy and delicious. Made the marinade with Flor de CaÃ±a Black Label rum just brought back from vacation in Nicaragua. I didn't have the toasted coconut on hand so drizzled some Sun Butter on top instead, a great end-of-summer grilled treat.

This was very good. Served to company for dessert & it only took a few minutes to pull together. I unfortunately bought low fat yogurt instead of ice cream. Will try again with ice cream later.
