Ingredients
Glaze:
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1/2 large lemon)
- 1 large lemon, zested
Cream:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Fruit:
- 1 pineapple, skinned and cut into 3/4-inch thick slices, or 8 canned pineapple slices in pineapple juice, drained
- 3 ripe but firm bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise, then halved crosswise
- 6 to 10 red or green grapes, halved
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, for garnish
Directions
For the glaze: In a small saucepan, bring the honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute until smooth. Set aside to cool.
For the cream: In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat the cream until thick. Add the sugar and beat until the cream holds stiff peaks. Beat in the yogurt, rum, and vanilla.
For the fruit: Place a grill pan over medium heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Sprinkle each side of the pineapple slices with brown sugar. Sprinkle the cut sides of the bananas and grapes with brown sugar. Grill the pineapple until grill-marked and golden, 4 to 5 minutes each side. Grill the bananas and grapes until lightly browned and warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes each side.
Place the grilled pineapple on 4 plates. Top with 3 banana slices and 3 grapes. Drizzle with honey glaze and spoon a dollop of the cream on top. Garnish with chopped fresh mint and serve.

This was such a smash at our last dinner party. I agree with User Sdritchie about the glaze. We loved just eating the fruit with the cream. It can be both an appetizer and a dessert because the greek yogurt just melts sinfulness in your mouth!

Great dessert! This hit the spot and satisfied my sweet tooth. I made the glaze; however, I preferred the fruit without it. The cream, however, was a MUST! It was a great compliment to the fruit. Our whole family enjoyed it!
