By ccavaletti

Ingredients

• 1 pineapple, peeled, ends trimmed, sliced
• 2 Tbsp firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp lime juice
• 1 container vanilla ice cream
• 1/4 c sweetened, flaked, dried coconut
• 1/4 chopped, roasted and lightly salted peanuts or cashews (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare grill, oil the rack.

In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and lime juice; brush onto both sides of pineapple slices with a pastry brush.

Lay pineapple slices on lightly oiled grill over a solid bed of med-hot coals or med-high heat on a gas grill. Keep charcoal grill uncovered; close lid on gas grill.

Cook turning once with a wide spatula, until pineapple is hot and tinged with brown on both sides - about 8 minutes total.

With the spatula, transfer 1-2 slices to each of 4 dessert bowls. Top with a scoop of ice cream and sprinkle with coconut and peanuts.
