Grilled pineapple with coconut cream is a tropical dessert that originated in the Pacific Islands and Southeast Asia. This delightful dish combines the sweetness of ripe pineapple with the rich, creamy flavor of coconut. The pineapple is grilled to perfection, caramelizing the natural sugars and adding a smoky flavor, while the coconut cream provides a luscious and indulgent topping. Renowned chefs like Roy Yamaguchi and Peter Merriman have popularized this dish in their Hawaiian restaurants, where it has become a staple on the menu. The best version of this dish can be found in Hawaii, where the pineapple is at its freshest and most flavorful. To make this dish, it's crucial to use ripe, juicy pineapple and high-quality coconut cream. The pineapple should be grilled until it's slightly charred, bringing out its natural sweetness. The coconut cream should be thick and velvety, adding a luxurious touch to the dessert. An alternative method for making this dish is to skewer the pineapple chunks and grill them, then serve them with a dollop of coconut cream on top. This creates a fun and interactive way to enjoy the flavors of grilled pineapple and coconut cream.
