GRILLED PINEAPPLE SUNDAE

Here is a great summertime recipe for a fun dessert.  No need to fire up your oven when the temps reach the 90's.  KISS (keep it so simple) is my motto when the heat hits.  Not just the kids will love this yummy dessert.  It will score big with adults as well.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE SUNDAE

1 pineapple
1/2 gallon of vanilla ice cream
flaked coconut
brown sugar
butter

Cut the top off of the pineapple, the while holding the pineapple upright, slice the rind off of it all around.
Use a corer to get the core out and then slice it into 4 to 5 slices.  If you don't have a core maker, slice the pineapple into slices and then with a paring knife cut the core out of each slice.  You can also use a small round cookie cutter.

Make large round balls of the ice cream and roll them in the coconut.  Put them on a tray in the freezer.

Dip one side of  the pineapple slices into some melted butter and then the brown sugar.  Put onto the grill sugar side up and grill until they are warmed through.

Remove from the grill and top with the "snowball" ice cream.  Put a sprig of mint and a cherry on top of each.  If you are feeling really festive add a paper umbrella to the top.

Super delicious and oh so easy.

Thanks for stopping in today

Ciao and have a great weekend
