Grilled Fruit Salad
- 1/2 store-bought pound cake, cubed (about 8 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 bananas, halved
- 1 pineapple, peeled, cored and quartered lengthwise
- 1 pint strawberries, whole, stems removed
- Vegetable oil, for brushing the fruit
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 1 tablespoon orange blossom honey
- Chopped fresh mint, for garnish
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. On a large sheet tray, spread the pound cake cubes evenly and drizzle with the melted butter.
- Bake for 10 minutes, until golden brown and toasted.
- For the whipped cream, combine the heavy cream and sugar in a bowl and whisk until soft peaks begin to form.
- (Alternatively, use an electric beater to whip the cream.)
- Add the lemon zest and juice and continue to whip to combine.
- Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Meanwhile, preheat a grill to medium heat.
- Brush the fruit with oil.
- Grill until the fruit is caramelized and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes per side for the bananas and pineapple and 1 to 2 minutes per side for the strawberries.
- If the strawberries are small, skewer them to grill.
- Remove from heat; when slightly cool, slice the fruit into large pieces.
- Place the toasted pound cake in a large bowl and top with the whipped cream, grilled fruit, sliced almonds, honey and mint.
