Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole pineapple
- 3 whole bananas
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 pint store-bought mango sorbet
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons coconut flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Peel the pineapple and slice it into 1/2-inch thick rings. Remove the core from each ring, if desired.
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon together.
Lightly brush the pineapple rings and banana halves with lemon juice, then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the fruit.
Place the pineapple slices on the preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the fruit begins to caramelize.
Add the banana halves to the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are soft and have grill marks.
Remove the grilled fruit from the grill and let it cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
To serve, place a few slices of grilled pineapple and a banana half on each plate. Add a scoop of mango sorbet to the side.
Garnish each plate with fresh mint leaves and, if desired, sprinkle with coconut flakes for added texture.
Serve immediately and enjoy your tropical dessert!
