Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon chopped hazelnuts
1 lemon, juiced and zested
2 (8 ounce) containers mascarpone cheese
3 tablespoons honey
8 slices of peeled fresh pineapple, 1/2-inch thick

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate. Place the hazelnuts into a small saucepan over medium heat, and shake the pan until the nuts turn golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside. Mix the lemon juice, lemon zest, mascarpone cheese, and honey in a bowl until well combined. Grill the pineapple slices on the preheated grill until the slices show brown grill marks and the fruit is hot and juicy, about 3 minutes per side. Serve 2 slices per plate with a generous dollop of sweetened mascarpone cheese and a sprinkling of toasted hazelnuts on each serving.
