    • Vegetarian
    • Preparation time: 5 minutes
    • Cooking time: 15 minutes

    Serves: 4

    Ingredients

    • 1 pineapple
    • 100 g golden caster sugar
    • Knob of root ginger, finely chopped
    • Juice of 1 lemon
    • 500ml Waitrose Seriously Creamy Madagascan Vanilla Ice Cream
    • Waitrose Belgian Chocolate Sauce, to serve (optional)

    Method

    1. Begin by preparing the pineapple. Using a large, serrated knife, slice off the top and bottom. Stand the pineapple upright and slice off the skin. Quarter the pineapple lengthways, then slice out the central core. Cut out any 'eyes', then cut each quarter into thick slices and place in a heatproof bowl.
    2. Place the sugar, ginger and 200ml water in a small pan and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice
    3. Pour the warm syrup over the pineapple and leave to cool. Cover and chill until ready to serve, topped with the ice cream and a generous helping of chocolate sauce, if using.
