Maple Syrup, Pecan and Philly Ice Cream with Griddled Pineapple

1. Make the ice cream by combining the egg yolks with 100ml maple syrup and whisk until light and fluffy. 2. Heat the Philadelphia with the milk and the vanilla until the Philly melts and the milk is just below boiling point. Slowly pour the mixture over the whisked eggs, stirring all the time. Strain the mixture and stir in the pecans. Leave to cool before pouring into the ice cream machine and churning according to the manufacturers instructions. 3. Cut the top and bottom off the pineapple and remove the outer skin completely. Next, cut the peeled pineapple in half, then quarters, then eighths, and even sixteenths if the pineapple is large. Remove the core. 4. Heat a large griddle pan and cook the pineapple until bar marks start to appear. Mix together the remaining 30mls of maple syrup and vanilla bean paste and use to brush onto the pineapple pieces while cooking. This will help it to caramelise. 5. When hot and well coloured, serve with the Philly ice cream and a few extra pecan nuts to garnish.
