Something for your Holiday Weekend


 I ran across this recipe on the Food Network Blog. If you go to the link, you'll also find a recipe for peach ice cream. Great stuff! I'll be trying out this one though this weekend. ;-) Enjoy!

Grilled Pineapple in Dark Chocolate with Coconut

Grilled pineapple dipped in raw chocolate and coated in toasted coconut can be served warm or frozen like an ice pop when placed on a skewer or wooden stick.

Serves 8 to 10

Ingredients:
1 large pineapple
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup finely chopped pistachio, for optional garnish
Optional: For an added flavor boost, sprinkle cayenne, cinnamon, sea salt or curry powder on the pineapple while grilling.

Instructions:



Heat the grill to medium-high setting; grease the grill rack well to prevent sticking of the pineapple. After peeling the pineapple, cut long ways into long rectangles about 1 inch in thickness; repeat with entire pineapple. Grill for about 10 minutes (5 minutes on each side) or until grill marks appear.

In the meantime, make a simple chocolate syrup: In a bowl, add coconut oil, cocoa powder and maple syrup, and stir to combine. Set aside until grilled pineapple is ready.

Drizzle the chocolate syrup on top of each pineapple slice and add shredded toasted coconut. Enjoy immediately while still warm, or you may also put in the freezer for the chocolate to harden and enjoy later.
