Pineapple Upside Down Cake Sorbet
This is a frozen spin on Pineapple Upside Down Cake--no cake involved--in honor of summer, which I hear some parts of the United States are currently experiencing. Not so in Northern Illinois, it's been freezing! Regardless, the first day of summer is just a day away and it's always good to have some no-bake recipes on hand (like this Oreo Pudding "Cake").
Because I knew I was topping this with a caramel sauce, I decided not to add any sugar to the pineapple sorbet. This means that the sorbet has an icy texture instead of smooth and creamy. I have a go-to recipe for amazing caramel sauce, but this time I decided to take the shortcut route (no, not the store-bought stuff!) by using brown sugar for a more authentic Pineapple Upside Down flavor. And of course it wouldn't be complete without the maraschino cherries!

Ingredients
- 20 oz pineapple rings in 100% pineapple juice
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Pinch of salt
- Maraschino cherries for garnish
Instructions
- In a blender, purée pineapple and its juice until smooth. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. Freeze according to your ice cream maker instructions.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar and butter until melted and bubbly. Whisk in cream and bring to a bubble again. Continue stirring about 5 minutes until sauce begins to thicken. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt. Sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Serve caramel sauce over sorbet and top with a cherry.
Now, this one is downright sinful! By the way, did you change themes or something? Your website seems somehow different and improved. I also changed themes and really like my new one!
No change of theme, just gave it a little face lift to try and get the most out of my free theme. I really like yours though and the way each post has a little preview that's easy to see without scrolling forever.
Thanks. Yeah, I wanted to showcase the latest posts with thumbnails for easy viewing, which also obviates the need for a social widget for recent posts. I'd like the thumbnails to be slightly bigger, but a wise man once said you can't always get what you want!
