INGREDIENTS:
vegetable oil (for oiling grill) 1 pineapple, peeled, ends trimmed 2 tbsp firmly packed brown sugar
1 tbsp lime juice 1 container vanilla ice cream 1/4 cup sweetened flaked dried coconut
1/4 cup chopped roasted and lightly salted peanuts or cashews (optional)



1 Prepare barbecue grill and preheat for direct, medium-high heat (the charcoal or gas flame is directly under the cooking area, and you can comfortably hold your hand just above grill only 3 to 4 seconds. FOR CHARCOAL GRILL: Before you put the grill over the hot coals, brush it with a light coat of oil. FOR GAS GRILL: When hot, brush grill with a light coat of oil.
2 While grill heats, cut pineapple crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices; cut out the core from each slice and discard. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and lime juice; brush onto both sides of pineapple slices with a pastry brush.
3 Lay pineapple slices on lightly oiled grill (close lid on gas grill) and cook, turning once with a wide spatula, until pineapple is hot tinged with brown on both sides, about 8 minutes.
4 With spatula, transfer 1 or 2 pineapple slices to each of 4 dessert plates; top with a scoop of ice cream and sprinkle equally with coconut and peanuts, if desired.
