This Grilled Pineapple with Chili-Lime Coconut Whip is what summer dreams are made of—sweet, juicy fruit with just the right kick of heat, balanced by a creamy citrus-spiced topping that melts right into the warm slices. It’s ridiculously simple, naturally gluten- and dairy-free, and perfect for everything from a backyard BBQ to a light weeknight dessert.
If you’ve never grilled fruit before, this is your sign. The sugars in pineapple caramelize beautifully over high heat, turning each bite into a sweet-and-smoky treat. And that chili-lime coconut whip? It’s like sunshine in a spoon. I’m always amazed at how a few pantry staples can come together into something so unique and crave-worthy.
Pineapple
Grilling pineapple brings out its natural sweetness and gives it an irresistible caramelized flavor. It’s rich in vitamin C, enzymes like bromelain (great for digestion), and antioxidants that support your immune system.
Coconut Cream
The magic behind the whip. When chilled and whipped, coconut cream becomes light, fluffy, and silky-smooth—no dairy required. It’s full of healthy fats and pairs beautifully with tropical flavors.
Chili & Lime
This combo adds zing and heat to the sweetness of the pineapple. Lime zest brightens the whip, while a pinch of chili powder gives it depth and balance—without being too spicy.
