This recipe for Grilled Pineapple with Frozen Blueberry Yogurt is a guilt-free recipe that is sure to leave you wanting more!
If you like your warm pie served a la mode with creamy ice cream on top, this is a great alternative for you. Grilling the pineapple gives it a unique taste, making it melt right in your mouth. If you’re reading this thinking you aren’t a fan of pineapple, we dare you to try it–you’ll become a pineapple believer!
Let’s get that Frozen Blueberry Yogurt ready!
Make the frozen yogurt a few hours before preparing the dessert, or even the night before. Just pop it in the freezer to firm it up, removing about thirty minutes before serving. The yogurt will retain its texture but be easy to scoop out. The recipe is an easy one: combine 1 cup Greek yogurt, 3 cups frozen blueberries, and some honey. No ice cream maker is needed to make this creamy treat! Don’t do too many taste tests, or else there won’t be any left by the time dessert rolls around!

Intimidated by the thought of coring the pineapple? Then just bite the bullet and purchase a pineapple corer. With a pineapple corer, you don’t need to worry about peeling away the skin, and the pineapple will be cored in minutes! Simply slice off the top of the pineapple, insert the corer, and twist. Pull up on the corer and voilà! Instant pineapple slices. If you already have too many kitchen tools and don’t want to buy a corer, you can also do this manually. Just set the pineapple upright on a cutting board and slice strips of the outer “shell” by placing a knife about 1/4 inch inside the edge of the fruit. Repeating until all skin has been removed. If notches still appear on the fruit, use a peeler to dig them out. Slice the pineapple into rings.
Grilling the Pineapple!
Once you have your pineapple rings, brush the slices lightly with olive oil, place on the grill, and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until heated thoroughly and grill marks appear. Remove from grill and top with a scoop of the blueberry frozen yogurt.
It is so delicious when the yogurt begins to melt onto the warm pineapple slices. Enjoy this scrumptious dessert after your next outdoor family meal!
