Pineapple Ice Cream Treat

1. 1

   Preheat the boiler. Combine the sugar, 3 tablespoons of bourbon, water and lemon juice in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Once the sugar is dissolved, reduce heat to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

2. 2

   In the meantime, place the pineapple on a foil-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and place into the broiler, about 5 inches from the heat surface for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.

3. 3

   Remove the bourbon syrup from heat and carefully add cream while stirring constantly. Allow to cool slightly and stir in the remaining bourbon and vanilla.

4. 4

   Place desired amount of vanilla ice cream into bowls. Top with the pineapple and about 1-2 tablespoons of the bourbon sauce. Sprinkle with flaked coconut and serve.
