This Grilled Pineapple with Coconut Cream is smoky, juicy, and indulgent — without the dairy, gluten, or refined sugar. It’s the ultimate way to end your summer cookout on a healthy high note!

Instructions

1.	Prepare the coconut cream: Scoop the thick cream from the top of the chilled coconut milk. Whisk it with vanilla extract and optional sweetener until light and fluffy. Store in the fridge until serving.
2.	Preheat the Grill: Heat to medium-high and lightly oil the grates.
3.	Prep the Pineapple: Brush pineapple with coconut oil and sprinkle with cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt.
4.	Place pineapple directly on the grill. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden grill marks appear and the fruit softens slightly.
5.	Top warm grilled pineapple with a generous dollop of coconut cream. Add toasted coconut flakes or fresh mint for a tropical twist.
