  • Place the hazelnuts into a small saucepan over medium heat, and shake the pan until the nuts turn golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside. Mix the lemon juice, lemon zest, mascarpone cheese, and honey in a bowl until well combined.

  • Grill the pineapple slices on the preheated grill until the slices show brown grill marks and the fruit is hot and juicy, about 3 minutes per side. Serve 2 slices per plate with a generous dollop of sweetened mascarpone cheese and a sprinkling of toasted hazelnuts on each serving.

I marinated the pineapple in the fridge covered with 1/4 cup rum 3 T brown sugar and 1/4 cup water for 2 hours before grilling. The addition of the mascarpone cheese was elegant but I added 2 extra T of honey to sweeten along with 1 t. light rum to add more flavor. The nuts didn't fit with the taste of the sweetness of the fruit. Read More

This was just o.k. It's expensive to make and for the price I want outstanding. Fortunately I had most of the ingredients on hand. I cut the mascarpone cream in half because 16oz for 8 slices of pineapple seemed like a lot! It was a good decision. After placing a heaping spoonful on the pineapple I still had half of it left over. Read More

For those of you who are looking for a dairy-free version simple marinate the pineapple (I used canned) in the honey and lemon juice for half an hour and then grill. Yum! Read More

A very nice dessert but I'm surprised that no one mentioned that only ONE container of mascarpone cheese is needed. It is more than enough for 4 plates. We all enjoyed! Read More

I haven't grilled the pineapple yet but I have eaten the cheese on toasted pound cake. Could not find hazelnuts so I used toasted sliced almonds. Really light dessert. I am going to try grilling the pineapple this week and update my review. Definetly make again Read More

Had this at a friends house but she opted to top the pineapple with Nutella and plain mascapone cheese. It is absolutely the best dessert ever!!!! Have made it at home many times since. Read More
