Easy Pineapple Dessert
"Right before the finale of our favorite reality show (AI) I decided that mom, dad, and I should indulge in something sweet and decadent. Scanning the choice of ingredients at the house (and knowing I only had 15 minutes until the show started) I got to work and this is what I came up with. Yummy!"

Yummy Princesskim! I used Pineapple Sorbet and DH and I loved it. Fortunately for us, the kids didn't want to try it! So there is more for us another day. Thanks! -
Is this easy? Yup. Is this versatile? Definitely. And is this a great dessert? It sure is! What I loved about this was its simplicity; in minutes, you could make this for one or you could make this for the whole family. All you do is take a pineapple slice, top it with some brown sugar, broil it (line the broiler pan with foil so there's no clean-up), transfer to serving plates and add a scoop of whatever frozen treat you like. I think I'll try this next time with fresh pineapple slices, but it certainly is convenient -- and tasty -- using the canned. Unfortunately, pina colada sorbet (which sounds delicious) was nowhere to be found at the supermarket, so I made do with a substitution. Thanks for posting this keeper!

I am 32 years old and live in quaint little Carlisle, PA. Currently I am working as an Administrative Assistant for an insurance company. I hope to someday make a career out of my love for food and cooking!
Besides cooking, I really enjoy music, theater, and sports. My favorite teams are the Yankees, Buffalo Bills, and Notre Dame. I spend rainy days watching the Food Network.
Currently my favorite Broadway show is Wicked...just for the music alone! I saw it in Chicago on a Broadway tour and it was so amazing! The special effects blew me away.
My favorite movie is Gone With The Wind- a true classic!
