– Switch out the ice cream for Greek yogurt for a twist on a healthier dessert.
– Use this same griddle-grilled technique for other fruits such as strawberries, blackberries, plums, and nectarines.
– When grilled at the right temperature, the fruit will caramelize, releasing its natural sugars and create a wonderful flavor.
