Cut the peeled and cored pineapple into bite-sized chunks or wedges and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it becomes slightly bubbly.
Add the brown sugar and stir continuously until it combines with the butter and forms a smooth caramel-like mixture (about 1-2 minutes).
Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet, spreading them out in a single layer.
Cook the pineapple for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and caramelized. Avoid over-stirring to allow for better caramelization.
Sprinkle chili flakes and a pinch of sea salt evenly over the caramelized pineapple while still in the skillet.
Drizzle the vanilla extract over the mixture and give it one final gentle stir.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the pineapple cool slightly for about 2 minutes before serving.
To serve, divide the pineapple evenly among dessert bowls. Add a dollop of chilled coconut yogurt on top of each portion.
Garnish with a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and fragrance.
Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect balance of heat, sweetness, and creaminess!
