During the hot summer months, it’s usually nice to make fresh treats. We love warm sweets like cakes and pies, but when we’re grilling, nothing beats a genuinely cold dessert to keep us cool. Even though our Lemon Lush is the perfect refreshing dessert, my husband insisted on having something made with pineapple. I had the “great pleasure” of preparing a new dish for him to enjoy after our barbecue.
