Honey and Vanilla Marinated Grilled Pineapple

Grilled pineapple with honey, vanilla and cinnamon. Pineapple is delicious on its own, but grilling it really brings out the flavour.

Like most people, dessert is my downfall. After dinner, I just crave something sweet and it is so hard to avoid the temptation of a huge slice of cake, or some ice cream. All the adverts on TV for dessert certainly don’t help.

So, I am trying out loads of healthy dessert recipes. The criteria for them is that they should taste a lot more decadent than they actually are, they should be low fat and low sugar, but full of taste. This recipe certainly ticks all those boxes. I cooked mine on a George Foreman, but you could just as easily grill them or BBQ them. Leave a comment below and let me know what you think!
