How to Make Coconut Grilled Pineapple

In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup of coconut milk and 1/4 cup of cinnamon sugar.
Dip pineapple slices (about 4 cups, from one large pineapple) into the coconut milk mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
Grill pineapple slices for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until grill marks appear and the pineapple is tender and slightly caramelized.
While pineapple is grilling, toast 1/4 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly golden brown.
Top each grilled pineapple slice with the toasted coconut and serve immediately with vanilla ice cream.
