Pineapple and cream sauce?

Question

I came across a recipe one time that I made a mental note to cook for my wife, but I can't remember and don't have a copy of it. From what I remember, the recipe called for cutting a pineapple lengthwise - stems and all - into quarters. Then it said to grill the pineapple wedges and when done top with what sounded like a very tasty sauce. The sauce (I could be wrong here) has brandy and cream and other ingredients, but that is where I am lost. Anyone else heard of this one? Know the sauce recipe?
Cheers

Grilled Pineapple with Vanilla Ice Cream And Rum Sauce

Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients
1 (3 to 4 pound) pineapple
Cooking spray
2 teaspoons Butter
1/4 cup Brown sugar
1/4 cup Rum
1 pint Light vanilla ice cream

Preparation
- Cut the top and bottom off of the pineapple, peel and cut it crosswise into 8 rings, about 1/2-inch each. Use a spoon or apple corer to carve out the center core of each ring.
- Spray a large grill pan with cooking spray and heat over a medium flame. Grill the pineapple, in 2 or 3 batches, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until it is nicely brown and grill marks have appeared. (You can also grill this on an outdoor grill sprayed with cooking spray before being heated.)
- While the last batch of pineapple cooks, heat the butter, sugar and rum in a small saucepan over a low heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat.
- Place a pineapple ring on each plate, scoop 1/4 cup of ice cream into the center of the ring, and drizzle about 2 teaspoons of sauce on top.

the sauce was with marzapone cheese (sp?) with dark rum, a bit of honey to sweeten and vanilla bean extract, drizzle it over pinapple after removing from the grill. =)
