Grilled pineapple with dark chocolate is a simple, healthful dessert that isn't loaded with fat and calories. You can prep the pineapple ahead of time and after everyone has finished dinner throw it on the grill for a satisfying treat. It only takes a minute to melt the dark chocolate and drizzle over the pineapple. Be sure to use a dark chocolate with 70% or higher cacao for the most antioxidants. Enjoy!
Take a fresh pineapple and cut off the top and bottom. |
Using a serrated knife, cut off the rough skin. |
Cut the pineapple into quarters. |
Cut off the core at an angle and slice each quarter in half lengthwise for 8 equal pieces. |
Skewer the pineapple. |
Warm 1/4 cup honey with 1/8 cup water and brush on the pineapple. |
Put some olive oil on a paper towel and lightly oil the grill. Grill pineapple over medium-high heat flipping until all 3 sides are golden. About 4 minutes per side. |
Remove pineapple skewers from grill. |
Drizzle with melted dark chocolate. Enjoy! |
What a beautiful and festive dessert.

Simple but wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just read yesterday
that pineapple is the
least likely fruit to
contain pesticides, so
organic isn't a concern.
Thanks, Emily!
