Peaches, pineapple, plums and mango, dusted with cinnamon sugar and grilled to sweet caramelised perfection. I like to serve it up with strawberries and lime zest for a hit of colour, and honey-drizzled Greek yogurt for dipping.
Grilling sugar-dusted fruit really brings out those gorgeous flavours. Now this makes an excellent summer dessert, but it’s so nice and refreshing I could eat it for breakfast and lunch too!
This would also be a fantastic addition to a barbecue feast. Such a simple and easy dish to make but it’s quite the sweet showstopper.
How to make it:
***Full recipe with detailed steps in the recipe card at the end of this post***
- This recipe is quite simple and quick. First, you start off by coating the fruit slices in sugar and cinnamon before popping them on a hot griddle for a few minutes.
- You should take the peach and plum slices off first as they can go mushy if left for too long.
- Flip the other fruits to grill for another minute, then remove from the pan.
- Then, serve everything up on a tray, topped with fresh strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey, lime zest and mint leaves.
Pro Tip
You can use a frying pan, but a griddle pan or griddle plate (<– affiliate links) works best if you want those lovely striped sear marks on your fruit. Cooking on the barbecue also works brilliantly for a slightly smoky flavour.
This is such a sweet and refreshing summer dessert, paired perfectly with an ice-cold sparkling wine!

- I LOVE this with a large dollop of Greek yogurt, but it also goes fantastically with some homemade ice cream. Here are some of my favourites:
- Strawberry Shortbread Ice Cream
- No-Churn Lemon Shortbread Ice Cream
Or, you can even top with a little Homemade Granola, for a slight crunch.

- Place the fruit on the hot griddle, ensuring the peaches and plums are sliced side down, and cook until griddle lines appear, about 2 to 4 minutes.
