Put the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl and stir with a fork or spoon to combine. 3. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Brush each pineapple slice on both sides with coconut milk, and sprinkle, also on both sides, with the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Arrange the slices on the hot grate, and grill until nicely browned on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side.

Tips:
- Choose ripe pineapple: A ripe pineapple will have a sweet, fragrant smell and a slightly soft, not mushy, exterior.
- Use fresh coconut milk: Fresh coconut milk adds a rich, creamy flavor to the marinade. If you don't have fresh coconut milk, you can use canned coconut milk, but be sure to shake the can well before opening.
- Marinate the pineapple for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors of the marinade to soak into the pineapple and make it more flavorful.
- Grill the pineapple over medium heat: This will help to prevent the pineapple from burning.
- Baste the pineapple with the marinade while it's grilling: This will help to keep the pineapple moist and flavorful.
- Serve the pineapple warm or cold: Grilled pineapple is delicious served warm or cold. It can be served as a side dish, dessert, or snack.
Conclusion:
Coconut grilled pineapple is a delicious and easy-to-make summer treat. The sweet, juicy pineapple pairs perfectly with the rich, creamy coconut milk marinade. This recipe is sure to be a hit at your next barbecue or potluck.
