Grilled Pineapple with Nutella
peeled, cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices and core removed
room temperature
or other chocolate-hazelnut spread
chopped toasted
1. Lightly oil an outdoor grill. Grill the pineapple slices until heated through and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes per side. It's important to leave the pineapple on the grill, untouched, to create grill marks.
2. In a small bowl combine the Nutella and the creme fraiche and set aside.
3. Transfer pineapple slices to a serving platter and spread a little bit of the Nutella mixture on each piece.
4. Sprinkle tops with toasted hazelnuts and serve while still hot.
Easy and low calorie too!
This can be served as a dessert - with a little scoop of vanilla ice cream nestled in the center, with a little tiny dollop more of the Nutella mixture on top, with more hazelnuts too. Or, serve at a brunch. Use a limited amount of the Nutella mixture in that case - this would be served as a side dish (not dessert) so you don't want it to be overly sweet. You'll have leftover Nutella in this case.
