Who doesn't love a classic dessert with a tropical twist? The Pineapple Upside-Down Cake is a favorite that remains timeless for a reason.

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 60 ml milk

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, Cadbury cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt).
  1. In another bowl, beat sugar, egg, and vanilla until fluffy. Add milk and gradually mix in the dry ingredients.
  1. Pour the batter over the pineapple slices and bake at 350°F for about 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

3. Grilled Pineapple with Chocolate Spread and Nuts

Pineapple Pieces

Grilled pineapple is a fantastic dessert option that brings out the natural sweetness of the fruit. The grilling process caramelizes the sugar in the pineapple, creating a smoky, sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with a generous spread of Cadbury chocolate and a sprinkle of nuts.

How to Make It:

Ingredients:

  • About 6 to 8 pineapple slices (fresh)
  • 60 ml melted Cadbury chocolate
  • Chopped nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans work well)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your grill and place the pineapple slices directly on the grill grates.
  1. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until you get grill marks, and the pineapple softens slightly.
  1. Once grilled, remove the pineapple slices and drizzle them with melted Cadbury chocolate over the top.
  1. For an extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts and a dash of cinnamon for warmth.

Grilled pineapple is the ultimate crowd-pleaser—simple to make, but the combination of textures and flavors will leave everyone wanting more!
