How to Make Grilled Pineapple Topped With Ice Cream And Candied Walnuts

**Prepare the Candied Walnuts:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Toss 1 cup walnut halves with 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until fragrant and lightly toasted.
**Prepare the Tequila Glaze:** In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup tequila, 1/4 cup orange marmalade, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 5-6 fresh mint leaves. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and the mixture slightly thickens (about 5 minutes).
**Grill the Pineapple:** Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Cut a ripe pineapple into 8 thick slices. Place pineapple slices on the preheated grill.
**Grill and Glaze:** Grill pineapple for 3-4 minutes per side, basting frequently with the tequila glaze. Look for nice grill marks and slightly caramelized edges. (Total grilling time: 10-15 minutes)
**Assemble the Sundaes:** Place a grilled pineapple slice on each serving dish. Top with a scoop of your favorite ice cream, and sprinkle generously with candied walnuts.
**Serve Immediately:** Enjoy this warm, cold, sweet, crunchy, and creamy dessert while it's at its peak deliciousness!
