Giada De Laurentiis Calls Her Newest Dessert an 'Explosion of Fresh Summer Flavor' & It Cooks in Just 10 Minutes
Strawberries and cream is a classic summertime treat, but Giada De Laurentiis uses a different fruit to create her new dessert. This fabulous, super-easy-to-make dessert is a delicacy — and an “explosion of summer flavor.”
The Giadzy founder just shared her recipe for Chocolate Hazelnut Grilled Pineapple on Instagram, and it’s just as delicious as you’d expect. “This is a fresh and unexpected combination of flavors that taste amazing together,” De Laurentiis wrote in her caption. She also described the highlights of the recipe: “Dollops of vanilla mascarpone, chocolate hazelnut spread and caramelized pineapple is an explosion of fresh summer flavor — and the hazelnuts add a perfect bit of crunch throughout.”
Start by grilling slices of pineapple, which only takes about three minute per side. You will them whip up a mascarpone mixture to dollop on top, then drizzle with chocolate-hazelnut spread and more. The whole thing takes just 10 minutes!
“Who knew this combo of flavors would be so delicious,” De Laurentiis asked on her Instagram story, calling the dish “irresistible.”
Crunchy, juicy, and creamy, this light treat is going to be your new summer go-to. But fair warning: it’s so good, you’ll never want to eat pineapples the regular way again!
If you aren’t a pineapple fan, the Italian chef has tons of other dessert recipes you can try, including one that feature an orange and a lemon. “When [the fruit is] not quite as perfect as it should be and it gets a little soft, I like to make this dessert,” she said in a March Instagram video. “It’s a ricotta with berries, and I make a little simple syrup and caramelized croutons … so it’s kind of taking leftover stuff and recreating it.”
