Grilling fruit intensifies the natural sweetness making it even more delicious. Add lemon infused mascarpone and you have a wonderfully simple yet elegant dessert.
 I used my Tre Stelle Mascarpone, you can see that story HERE
As always, click on any of the photos to 
enlarge them & see the detailed juicy bits.

Here's what you need, only 5 simple ingredients.

You can core your pineapple if you like, I dont
 mind the core and it all softens once it's grilled.

After a couple minutes I rotate the pineapples 90 degrees
 so I get those beautiful grill marks.

Then I flip them a do the same on the other side. Aren't they pretty !They take about 3-5 minutes on each side and
 while they are grilling I start on the marcarpone mixture.

Mix until soft peaks form, I like this to be spoonable,
 not too thick so I'll add more whipping cream if needed.
