Method
Rum Caramel Sauce: In saucepan, cook sugar and 3 tbsp water over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Without stirring but brushing down side of pan with pastry brush dipped in cold water, cook until amber in colour, 10 to 12 minutes.
Standing back and averting face, whisk in cream and salt; bring to boil. Cook, whisking, until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Whisk in rum; remove from heat. Whisk in butter; scrape into bowl. Let stand until thickened, about 30 minutes.
Pineapple: Meanwhile, preheat barbecue to medium heat (about 350°F); grease grill. Place pineapple on grill; cook, uncovered, flipping once, until grill marked on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to serving platter; let cool slightly. Top with yogurt, hazelnuts and coconut chips (if using); drizzle with Rum Caramel Sauce. Garnish with mint (if using).
