Dessert on the grill, anbybody? (with pics)

It's hot as hell out there, but I'm not giving up grilling. In fact, you can grill up some pretty refreshing deserts in the summer heat.

Tonight, I grilled bananas and pineapple - and served them with ice cream and homemade chipotle pepper chocolate sauce - also made on my grill - albeit on the side burner (see, some of us DO use that thing).

First, I made my chocolate sauce - I added some ground chipotle pepper, butter, and 1/2 and 1/2 and brought it almost to a boil.


Then I added vanilla and semi-sweet chocolate. I sometimes use Mexican chocolate, but I used what I had on hand - I just hope my wife doesn't try to make chocolate chip cookies tomorrow...


Lowered the heat and stirred. Be patient...


The fruit - I put some fresh cracked pepper on the pineapple before grilling it



Then I put some ground cinnamon, ginger, and cloves in with some melted butter. This picture is before all the butter melted. I dipped the bananas in the mixture before putting them on the grill. Make sure the bananas are ripe, but firm...


Pineapple on the grill:


For some reason, the grilled bananas didn't like getting their picture taken. This was the best photo I could get.


The pineapple picture came out a little better, although the banana was just frikkin delicious.



I have enjoyed putting the things I grill on this site, I hope everyone enjoys it. If so, I'll keep on going...
