We like to end a summer grill meal with this simple, yummy dessert.
Dump some coconut on a cookie sheet and toast it in a preheated oven at 325 for however long it takes to become brown but not overdone....just a little crispy and toasted light brown, probably 10 -20 minutes. Keep an eye on it. Or, toast it it a dry skillet if you dont feel like heating up the kitchen on a hot day. Let the coconut cool. You'll need about 1/3 c. per person, more or less.
Scoop a nice round ice cream ball from vanilla ice cream, or use frozen vanilla yogurt, one per person. Roll each in the toasted coconut, place in the freezer until serving time, covering them if it's going to be more than an hour.
Grill slices of fresh pineapple just until you get grill marks on both sides. Top each slice with an ice cream ball and enjoy the hot-cold tropical flavors. Don't be lazy and skip the coconut toasting, it's just not the same.
