Pineapple Carpaccio

Ice Cream Topping

Method

Pineapple Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pineapple

    Peel, core, and slice the ripe pineapple into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. Arrange the slices on a large serving plate or platter.

  2. 2

    Make the Marinade

    In a small bowl, combine the honey, lime juice, pink peppercorns, and star anise. Mix well to create a marinade.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Pineapple

    Drizzle the marinade over the pineapple slices, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the plate with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Plate the Carpaccio

    After marinating, remove the pineapple from the refrigerator. Arrange the marinated pineapple slices in an overlapping pattern on individual serving plates.

  2. 5

    Add Mint and Ice Cream

    Top each plate with fresh mint leaves. Place a scoop of pistachio ice cream in the center of the pineapple carpaccio.

  3. 6

    Drizzle with Caramel

    Drizzle the salted caramel sauce over the ice cream and around the pineapple for added flavor and presentation.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the ice cream is still cold and the pineapple is fresh. Enjoy your refreshing pineapple carpaccio!
