Let’s Dish About the Deliciousness
While incredible as a stand-alone treat, my favorite way to enjoy this pineapple bake is with a scoop of velvety vanilla ice cream slowly melting over top. The warm, tangy pineapple sauce mingled with creamy, cool ice cream is out-of-this-world delightful.
If serving for dessert, a little sweetened whipped cream takes it over the top. For something heartier, it also pairs beautifully next to a holiday ham or even breakfast sausages at brunch.
Speaking of brunches or potlucks, this pineapple bake can be served chilled or at room temperature which makes it perfect for toting. It also reheats exceptionally well – just pop it in the microwave or oven for a few minutes until warm and saucy again.
Whether for a special occasion or simply craving a fun tropical treat, this is the EASIEST, most crowd-pleasing pineapple bake you’ll make. So effortless yet insanely addictive!
