Grilled Pineapple with Mascarpone Whipped Cream

Sometimes the simplest desserts are the best! This easy, no-bake dessert features juicy pineapple that is grilled until it is tender and ultra-sweet. It’s served with a simple mascarpone whipped cream.

I served this grilled pineapple with a super simple mascarpone whipped cream. The mascarpone is so creamy and mild. All you need to add to it is a little milk or heavy cream and a little sugar.

This topping compliments the sweet grilled pineapple perfectly. Add a few almonds for crunch and if desired, a drizzle of caramel ice cream topping. Now you have a luscious grilled dessert that is as delicious as it is simple!

Recipe Tips

• Mascarpone cheese can often be found in the specialty cheese section of your grocery store. If you cannot find it, I would either use store-bought whipped cream or make your own to serve with the grilled pineapple.
• Toppings can be swapped out, your favorite nut can be used in place of the almonds and honey can be used in place of the caramel topping.
