Ingredients
- Pineapple- this really needs fresh pineapple. Canned is not sturdy enough to hold together. But you can either remove the outer crust and core yourself or buy a whole pineapple already prepped.
- You can use regular or light sour cream interchangeably.
- You could use rum instead of tequila if you prefer.

FAQs

Yes, you could make the cream with whipped cream. It will be a bit lighter. You might want to make a cream cheese/whipped cream combination. See Cream Cheese Frosting for the technique and then use the brown sugar and tequila as per the recipe here instead of white sugar and vanilla. (
You could use your broiler but it won't be quite as 'smoky' as the grilled version.
