Grilled Pineapple Mango Shortcakes

Sliced pineapple and mango are grilled and spooned over ice cream in shortcake shells. Whipping cream, toasted coconut and a cherry go on top.

Ingredients:

• 4 fresh pineapple rings, cut 1-inch thick
• 2 mangoes, cut in 1/2-inch slices
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 2 cups premium vanilla ice cream
• 4 spongecake-type shortcake shells
• 1/4 cup whipping cream, sweetened & whipped
• 1/4 cup toasted coconut
• 4 marachino cherries

Directions:

Preheat grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, gently coat fruit with melted butter. Grill 5-7 minutes, carefully turning once. Cut fruit into bite-size pieces. Spoon ice cream into shortcakes. Top with grilled fruit, whipped cream, coconut, and a cherry.

Number of Servings: 4

Notes from the Cook: This is the perfect ending to a grilled menu. The intensely sweet flavor of the caramelized fruit can't be duplicated with uncooked fruit.
