This grilled pineapple recipe is juicy and full of flavor. The pineapple slices are marinated in a dark rum and coconut sugar marinade. A delicious, refreshing grilled fruit dessert.
When the pineapple slices are grilled, the rum-sugar combination caramelizes on the pineapple.
Serve with the coconut rum sauce and fresh vanilla ice cream, mouthwatering. This tasty grilled pineapple recipe is one of my most requested by family and friends. It soon will be a favorite of yours as well!
The boozy grilled pineapple recipe is a flavorful dessert I have been making for a few years.
The rest of the family loves dessert, and sometimes a tasty piece of pie is needed.
My family is all about summer because that means beach days, relaxing by the pool, and grilling. Adding fresh fruit to salads, BBQ sauces, and of course, desserts is a big part of our summer meals.
Personally, I have to be more diligent about what I eat in the warmer months because, despite exercising and moderately enjoying one or two Skinny Pineapple Mango Frozen Margarita.
Grilled Pineapple FAQs
Yes, however, it is a bit harder than the rest of the pineapple. I put them in freezer bags and add to smoothies.
Once a pineapple is picked, it will no longer ripen. It's important to pick a good one. I look for green leaves on top. I smell the bottom of the pineapple, and it should smell sweet. The skin of the pineapple should be soft when you push on it. The more yellow the skin, the riper the pineapple.
Sprinkle coconut sugar and coconut extract on their pineapple slices.
How to cut a pineapple?
We eat a lot of pineapple. I was surprised a while back when a friend said she had never cut a pineapple. It is really easy.
- Cut the top off, then the bottom of the pineapple.
- Place the pineapple straight up, and cut the skin off. Take care not to take too much flesh. I hate waste. 🙂
- Use a paring knife to remove the little brown spots on the pineapple. T

Having a dinner party and wondering. Can you grill the pineapple earlier in the day and then reheat in microwave or oven before serving this dessert.
Eileen Murphy Kelly
I have not tried this idea but I do not see why you could not reheat the pineapple in the oven. I don't use a microwave for reheating.
