This easy grilled pina colada pineapple dish is a simple way to enjoy fresh pineapple. It tastes just like a delicious pina colada drink. We love it as a dessert.
Grilled Pina Colada Pineapple
The grilled pineapple with coconut milk, lime, and nutmeg makes me feel like I am in Costa Rica at one of the Tikka restaurants. The coconut and pineapple flavor combo tastes like Summer!
The recipe comes from 100 Grilling Recipes You Can't Live Without by Cheryl and Bill Jamison. Hubby enjoys this cookbook. He's our grillmaster.
This grilled pineapple makes a good dessert or side dish. It isn't a last-minute idea dish, though. You need to marinate the pineapple for at least an hour to allow the flavors to seep into the pineapple.
What You Need
We prefer a gas grill because it is less work for us, but if charcoal is your grill choice, that works too. Youwill need knives, measuring cups and measuring spoons.
