Grilled Pineapple Skewers With Coconut Caramel Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• 1. FOR CARAMEL SAUCE: Combine the sugar and coconut milk in heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking to dissolve the sugar. Simmer briskly until thick, golden and very flavorful, about 5 minutes or so, whisking often. Remove the pan from the heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.
• 2. FOR THE NAPOLEONS: Place 1 phyllo sheet on a flat work surface. Coat with cooking spray, and sprinkle evenly with 1/2 tsp. sugar. Top with 1 phyllo sheet; coat again with cooking spray, and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. sugar. Cut phyllo stack into thirds lengthwise; cut each in half, creating 6 even rectangular stacks. Repeat procedure with remaining phyllo sheets, cooking spray, and 1 tsp. sugar.
• 3. Grill phyllo stacks, without grill lid, over medium-low heat, 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Set aside till ready to assemble.
• 4. Next sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on both sides of the pineapple slices. Grill the pineapple on med heat until warmed through and softened. Remove from grill onto a plate and get ready to assemble the napoleons.
• 5. Place 1 grilled phyllo stack on each of 6 serving plates; top with pineapple slices. Drizzle caramel sauce evenly on top of pineapple slices. Top each with 1 grilled phyllo stack. Top with fresh whipped cream or ready whip and drizzle with more caramel sauce. Serve immediately while pineapple is still warm.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat grill on high. Slice off the top and bottom of the pineapple. Stand pineapple upright on cutting board; cut into quarters from top to bottom. Cut each quarter into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Thread three pineapple slices onto each skewer.
• 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and lime juice, and the mint, if using. Brush over the pineapple, reserving about half of the glaze.
• 3. Coat pineapple with cooking spray. Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it begins to brown. Brush with remaining glaze and serve.
