How to Make Grilled Caribbean Pound Cake Dessert

In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of dark rum and 4 tablespoons of melted butter.
Slice pound cake into 1-inch thick slices. Gently brush each slice generously on both sides with the rum butter mixture.
Preheat grill to medium heat. Carefully place pound cake slices on the preheated grill grates. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through, using a spatula to carefully turn the slices to prevent breaking.
Transfer the grilled pound cake slices to serving dishes. Top with 1-2 scoops of your favorite vanilla ice cream and fresh mango and/or papaya slices (about ½ cup total).
