    grilled pineapple and peaches with vanilla ice cream and dulce de leche on a grey plate

    If you think that grilling is just for meat then think again! Grilled pineapple is one of my favorite things to cook on the grill and it's so easy! Serve it up with some vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of dulce leche and I'm in heaven!

    Like most of us, I'm missing my planned summer vacation this year, but I'm making the most of being at home, and the glorious weather by getting out in the yard and grilling with my family.

    This grilled pineapple dessert is quick and easy to make and perfect to serve after enjoying my other cookout favorites like Grilled Chicken Skewers and Mexican Grilled Corn Salad.

    If you are planning a cookout, be sure to check out How To Host A Cookout and Menu Ideas.

    Grilled pineapple and peaches ingredients

    Ingredients

    • Pineapple and any other fruit you’d like such as peaches
    • Brown sugar
    • Coconut oil
    • Vanilla ice cream
    • Dulce de leche
    • Toasted coconut flakes

    Step by Step Instructions

    How to grill pineapple

    • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 350 - 450 degrees F).
    • Remove the rind and stem from the pineapple and cut into 1 inch thick slices. Pour coconut oil over the pineapple and rub brown sugar over the slices and let stand until the grill is fully heated.
    • Place pineapple slices on the grill and cook for about 3 - 5 minutes on direct heat. Flip the pineapple slices and let cook for another 3 -5 minutes or until tender, golden, and lightly caramelized.

    How to make ice cream sundaes

    • Place grilled pineapple slices on plates and top each slice with a large scoop of frozen vanilla ice cream.
    • Drizzle with dulce de leche and top with toasted coconut.
    • Enjoy immediately.

    Can you make this dessert with other fruits?

    Pineapple is one of my favorite fruits to grill and it works so well with the toasted coconut for that delicious tropical taste. You can easily make this with other grilled fruits too and it will be just as yummy! Try it with:

    • Peaches
    • Banana
    • Pears
    • Melon
    • Mango

    Top Tips For Grilling Fruit

    • It is best to grill firm fruits that are not over ripe. If they are too soft and ripe they won't hold their shape and can disintegrate.
    • Don't overcook the fruit. If they are overcooked they will become very soft and jammy. You don't need to cook them through, a couple of minutes on each side is perfect.
    • Use brown sugar rather than white to sprinkle over the fruit. It contains more molasses which caramelizes to create a rich depth of flavor.
    • Cut the fruit into large pieces so that it's easier to flip and doesn't fall through the grates.

    Can you grill pineapple ahead of time?

    I like to serve the pineapple when it is still warm so that the ice cream melts over it. I like to let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. You can grill the pineapple up to 24 hours before and keep it stored in an airtight container.

    About The Weber Genesis II

    I used the Weber Genesis II to make this recipe and the grill is an absolute dream! It is available in three to four-burner models, with the option of upgraded features, and either a sleek open cart design or grill cabinet for storing tools.

    • Weber offers a 10-year warranty on all parts of the grill.
    • Porcelain-enameled, cast-iron or stainless steel cooking grates provide superior heat retention.
    • The fuel gauge lets you see how much fuel is left in the tank (LP only).

    Recipe Notes and Tips

    • Prepare the grill by cleaning with a grill brush to remove any built-up residue.
    • The cooking time of the fruit on the grill varies depending on the thickness, ripeness of fruit/pineapple, and actual heat of the grill.
    • Use a wide metal (sharp) spatula/turner for easy removal and flipping of the pineapple slices.
    • You can use other grilled fruits (such as grilled peaches).
