Grilled fruits, especially "tough" fruits like pineapple chunks or spears, bananas, and their cousins, plantains, are a great choice for grilled desserts. Juicy fruits like peaches and even watermelon gain extra sweetness as the heat from the grill caramelizes the sugars in the fruit. The other popular type of grilled dessert starts with a slice of firm-textured cake (such as pound cake) that's toasted on the grill, then topped with ice cream.
Skewers of grilled banana chunks, pineapple pieces and whole strawberries are place on top of scoops of ice cream drizzled with toppings and sprinkled with pecans.
Soak skewers in warm water for 30 minutes before grilling to avoid burning; drain. Thread banana chunks, pineapple pieces, and strawberries onto skewers, leaving 1/4" space between pieces.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter and brandy. Brush mixture over fruit.
Lightly coat the unheated grill rack with cooking spray before heating. For a charcoal grill, grill skewers on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium-hot coals for 5-10 minutes, or until fruits are warm and bananas are lightly browned, turning skewers occasionally. For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium-high. Place skewers on grill rack over heat. Cover; grill as above. Remove from grill.
Place scoops of ice cream in serving dishes. Drizzle with ice cream topping and sprinkle with nuts. Top with fruit skewers and serve immediately.
