How to Make Dessert Fruit Skewers

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the following marinade ingredients: 2 tablespoons Malibu Black Coconut Rum, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  2. Add the cubed fruits (strawberries, pineapple, kiwi, and blueberries) to the marinade. Gently toss to coat and let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  3. While the fruit marinates, soak 8-10 bamboo skewers in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
  4. Thread the marinated fruit onto the soaked skewers.
  5. Preheat grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  6. Grill the fruit skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the fruit is slightly caramelized. Turn frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup Nutella (or other hazelnut spread) with 1 tablespoon Malibu Black Coconut Rum until smooth.
  8. Remove the skewers from the grill and immediately drizzle with the hazelnut rum mixture.
  9. Serve the warm fruit skewers immediately. Optional: serve over a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat!
