Grilled Pineapple with Nutella

• 1/4 cup hazelnuts
• 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup mascarpone cheese
• 1/3 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)
• 3 tablespoons whipping cream
• Olive oil
• 1 pineapple, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the hazelnuts on a large, heavy baking sheet, and toast in the oven, stirring occasionally, until the nuts are fragrant and light golden brown in the center, about 7 minutes.
2. Let cool completely.
3. Rub the hazelnuts between your palms to remove the dark skins from the nuts.
4. Chop the hazelnuts and set aside.
5. In a small bowl, stir the vanilla into the mascarpone just to blend.
6. Set aside.
7. In another small bowl, combine the chocolate-hazelnut spread and the cream.
8. Microwave until warm, stirring every 20 seconds to blend, about 1 minute total.
9. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for medium-high heat, or preheat a ridged grill pan over a medium-high flame.
10. Lightly oil the grill rack or pan.
11. Grill the pineapple slices until heated through and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes per side.
12. Transfer the pineapple slices to a large platter, and drizzle the warm chocolate-hazelnut sauce over.
13. Dollop the mascarpone mixture atop.
14. Sprinkle with the hazelnuts and serve.
