Grilled Pineapple with Coconut Whipped Cream + Toasted Pistachios

0 · Aug 27, 2020 ·

Grilling fruit is one of the most underrated pleasures of summer, and pineapple is the perfect fruit to grill. Not only is it packed with vitamin C, fiber and manganese, but it’s also anti-inflammatory and digestion-friendly.

How to: Grilling Pineapple with Coconut

Grilled Pineapple with Coconut Whipped Cream + Toasted Pistachios

You might think hey, pineapple is already nice and sweet, why ruin a good thing? But grilled pineapple is next level tasty. Its natural sweetness means it gets beautifully caramelized when you cook it, and the flavor is even richer.
If you don’t have a grill available, never fear—you can get the same effect using a grill pan or nonstick skillet on the stove. It only takes a couple minutes to heat up, which means you get an instant dessert that’s satisfying and guilt-free at the same time. We topped it with a healthy, coconut milk-based whipped cream, and a lovely mixture of toasted nuts and seeds. Crunchy, creamy, sweet, just what the doctor ordered. You should put this dessert recipe in your rotation even when it’s not summer, since pineapples are easy to find all year round.
If you’re having trouble cutting pineapples just so, check out these tips from Hello Glow (plus a pineapple salsa recipe, while you’re at it!).
