Directions

1. Step 1Adjust oven racks to lower and middle positions. Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Step 2Using a serrated knife, cut top and bottom off pineapple. Stand pineapple on a cut end and cut away skin. Using a paring knife, cut out any large eyes. Quarter pineapple lengthwise. Lay quarters flat on the cutting board. Cut out and discard woody core of each piece. Cut remaining pieces of pineapple into 1/2-inch chunks.
3. Step 3On a small rimmed baking sheet, toss pineapple with sugar, butter, and ginger. Roast (on middle rack) until pineapple is tender and sugar is a caramel color, 15 to 20 minutes.
4. Step 4On a second baking sheet, spread out the coconut. Bake (on the lower rack) until lightly golden, about 5 minutes; transfer to a bowl.
5. Step 5When ready to serve, scoop the ice cream into bowls. Top with the pineapple, spooning any caramel over the top. Sprinkle with the coconut.
