My Favorite Grilled Dessert Recipe (Yes, Dessert on the Grill!) Brown Sugar Cinnamon Grilled Pineapple with Ice Cream and Toasted Coconut
The grill isn’t just for steak and veggies. I love capping off a cookout with this simple grilled pineapple dessert recipe. It’s sweet, smoky, and unique. Topped with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream and toasted coconut—what’s not to love?

Hi, I'm Mary DiSomma.
I’ve been baking since I was a little girl. In fact, my Italian-American grandmother, mother, and aunts taught me everything I know. They were my "cooking school." In the kitchens of the women in my family, I inherited the tips and tricks of the generations. I continue cooking and baking their recipes to this day. In fact, I still make over 7,000 cookies every year just to give away to family and friends during the holidays!
