Method

  1. Fire up the barbecue and wait until the flames have died down and the coals are white (or heat a griddle pan over a high heat).
  2. Peel the pineapple and cut into 8 even rounds, removing the woody cores with a sharp knife. Sear for 4 mins, turning regularly, until charred, then transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle over ¼ tsp cinnamon.
  3. Add most of the mint leaves to a saucepan with the lime juice, caster sugar and 1 tbsp water. Bring to a simmer and bubble for 5 mins or until you have a light syrup, then drizzle it over the pineapple. Sprinkle over the lime zest. Mix ½ tsp cinnamon through the ice cream, then serve alongside the pineapple with the remaining mint leaves, some more lime zest and a final dusting of cinnamon.
