In Boulder, Colorado, Becky Gillespie completes a grilled meal with this light, refreshing dessert. "By the time we're done eating, the coals have cooled to the right temperature," she notes. "I brush the slices of pineapple and pound cake with a sweet sauce, toast them on the grill and top 'em with ice cream and convenient caramel sauce."

I went ahead and preped as much as I could before the BBQ was served. It was so easy to slap on the pound cake and pineapple slices after dinner. Brushed on the wonderful mixture and had it on the table in about 5 minutes. What a nice combo of flavors. Super easy and lots of wows from the guests!
