Grilled Pineapple with Vanilla Ice Cream

4 servings

30 minutes

Grilled pineapple with vanilla ice cream is a dessert that combines exotic fruity notes with soft, sweet creaminess. The origins of this dish trace back to Pan-Asian cuisine, where fresh fruits are often subjected to heat treatment to reveal their sweetness and aroma. Grilled pineapple develops a caramelized crust; its flavor becomes rich with a slight tanginess. The warmth of the caramelized slices perfectly contrasts with the cool, velvety texture of vanilla ice cream, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. This dessert not only delights the taste buds but also attracts with its aesthetic presentation: golden slices of pineapple and delicate ice cream melting at the edges. It is perfect as a conclusion to a light lunch or dinner, adding a touch of sophistication and exoticism to the meal.
