Grilled Pineapple Sundaes
Yes, I'm still grillin' and chillin'. This recipe will really bring the chill on after I get my grill on.
If you read my blog on Tuesday, you know that I am not perfect, because I wasn't able to produce the perfect caramel sauce for my ice cream.
I needed to step it up, come up with something different, in order to sooth my irritated ego.
This is a pineapple cutter. It is the slickest gadget, rating at the top of my variety of gadgets.
This is what I get when I ply the pineapple cutter to a fresh pineapple. Sorry, no before and after. I figure everybody knows what a fresh pineapple looks like.
This is toasted coconut. Just a side note: I found instructions from a very reliable source, that said to toast the coconut on a microwave safe plate, 30 seconds at a time, until lightly browned. Well, either my microwave is way stronger the the source's, or my microwave safe plate isn't so safe. I threw out the darkened evidence. Extra dark coconut does not smell nice. Trust me on this.
Then I went at it 10 seconds at a time, stir, 10 seconds, stir, etc. Much better.
And we're grillin'. That's right. I put my fresh pineapple slices on the grill, and got them some tan lines. I was careful, so as not to burn the pineapple, because when I have fresh pineapple, I do not want to waste a single morsel.
Grilled pineapple, topped with vanilla ice cream, sprinkled with toasted coconut. I broke into the Pina Colada song with I scooped it up, scarfed it down, inhaled every bit of it.
Was it ever good.
Happy Saturday
