Giada De Laurentiis<\/a> from Everyday Italian <\/h5>\n2 pineapples, peeled, cut crosswise into 1\/2-inch-thick slices and core removed
2\/3 cup mascarpone cheese, room temperature
1\/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2\/3 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella)
6 tablespoons whipping cream
Olive oil
3 tablespoons chopped toasted hazelnuts <\/p>\n
Prepare the outdoor barbecue to medium-high heat. If you do not have a barbecue, you can use an indoor grill pan set to medium high heat. Lightly oil the grill. Grill the pineapple slices until heated through and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes per side. It’s important to leave the pineapples on the grill, untouched so that you can create the grill marks. <\/p>\n
While the pineapples are cooking, whisk the mascarpone and vanilla in a small bowl to blend. Set aside. <\/p>\n
Combine the chocolate-hazelnut spread and cream in a small bowl and stir to combine. Place in a microwave on high for about 2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds to blend well. Alternatively, you can combine the chocolate-hazelnut spread and cream in a small saucepan, set over low heat, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Heat until satiny smooth and easy to pour, about 3 to 5 minutes. <\/p>\n
Transfer the pineapple slices to a large platter. Drizzle the warm chocolate-hazelnut sauce over. <\/p>\n
Dollop the mascarpone mixture atop. Sprinkle with the hazelnuts and serve.<\/p>\n
My notes:<\/p>\n
This is really good with grilled peaches, nectarines, plums, or other fleshy fruit. I\u2019d like to try this with thick slices of kiwi, or mango. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I thought I would share this recipe with everyone. This particular recipe, though, is not my own. I was given the basic recipe – ingredient list on a post-it note, and verbally told how to make this recipe while standing in line at the DMV a couple of summers ago. I’ve since found out that the recipe is the same\/very similar to the one presented by Giada De Laurentiis, from the show "Everyday Italian", on the Food Network. The recipe I have is very similar, so it very well could be her recipe. My prep method was a bit different \u2013 I would never use a microwave here \u2013 too little control for me for this application.<\/p>\n![\"nutella\"](\"http:\/\/thisfoodthing.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/06\/nutella.jpg\")
