Preheat the oven broiler. Line a baking sheet with freezer paper. Set aside.
Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and blend well. Place the pineapple in a single layer in a broilerproof pan and sprinkle with the brown sugar mixture. Place the pan under the broiler and broil for 3 to 6 minutes, or until the brown sugar just begins to caramelize. Watch carefully to be sure the pineapple doesn’t burn. Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a cooling rack. When the pineapple mixture is cool, transfer it to the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour or more.
When you are ready to make the smoothie, place the pineapple juice, honey, pineapple mixture, and ice cream in a blender and mix by using the on/off pulse function until the ingredients are mostly blended. Continue mixing, gradually increasing the speed, until the mixture is smooth. Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with a Cinnamon-Dipped Tortilla Triangle (see Great Garnishes), if desired.
