This dessert treat uses fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt, but you could substitute vanilla ice cream if you prefer. The flavors of coconut and the carmelized pineapple create a delicious topping. This is best when fresh pineapple is used. Sometimes you can find already peeled and cored pineapple in the produce department. From Food & Wine.

Time 30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (2 lb) pineapple, peeled, cored and sliced into 1/2 inch rings
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
2 1/2 pints non-fat vanilla frozen yogurt (or vanilla ice cream)
mint sprig, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Light a grill.
  • Brush the pineapple rings with the oil.
  • Grill over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until the pineapple rings are lightly charred and softened, about 8 minutes.
  • Transfer the rings to a work surface to cut them into bite-size pieces.
  • In a medium skillet, toast the coconut over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the coconut to a plate to cool.
  • Scoop the frozen yogurt (or ice cream) into sundae glasses or bowls.
  • Top with the grilled pineapple, sprinkle with the toasted coconut, and garnish with mint sprigs (if using) and serve right away.

Tips:

  • To select the best pineapple, pick one that is heavy for its size and has a sweet smell.
  • For a deeper caramelized flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • Be sure to watch the pineapple closely while it is caramelizing, as it can burn easily.
  • To make the coconut sauce ahead of time, simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • These sundaes can be made ahead of time and assembled just before serving.
