Grilled Pineapple With Nutella - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut crosswise into 1/2 thick slices
2/3 cup mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon sugar (optional) or 1 tablespoon Splenda sugar substitute (optional)
2/3 cup nutella
6 tablespoons whipping cream
3 tablespoons chopped toasted hazelnuts

Preparation

Whisk the mascarpone cheese, vanilla and sugar till smooth and blended.
Set aside (For ease of serving, I scoop into a ziploc bag, and seal. Then when it's serving time, I just snip the corner and drizzle thin streaks of it all over the pineapple slices.).
Combine the Nutella with cream in a small saucepan, and stir constantly over low heat for about 5 minutes, till satiny smooth, and easy to pour.
Set aside.
Grill pineapple slices in a grill pan sprayed with Pam over medium heat.
(you can also cook at medium high heat on BBQ, using Pam, also) Grill slices about 3 minutes per side, so you get those nice\"grill marks.
\"Arrange the pineapple on a large platter or shallow serving dish.
Drizzle Nutella over the pineapple.
then snip the corner of the bag, and drizzle the mascarpone over the top.
Sprinkle the hazelnuts over the top, and serve immediately.
