Easy peasy. That's what this recipe is. Easy. Peasy. Lemon squeezy. Or rather lime squeezy. We're going to grill up some spiced pineapples and pair them with a delicious homemade dulce de leche recipe.
There's really not much to say here, bestie! This super easy dulce de leche recipe uses a classic method to make a dulce de leche sauce, and pairs it with grilled pineapples that have been spiced with lime, honey and some paprika (for just a teensy bit of kick!).
It's a super simple dessert, so I'd recommend you plate it with a scoop of ice cream (I *ahem* forgot to buy some on the day I was taking my photos), or you can do what I did: distract your guests by plating the dulce de leche and spiced pineapples on a pretty blue plate. Either works.
(But the ice cream option tastes better.)
Now, if the classic method for making dulce de leche is a bit too much fuss over too long a period, you should try out my easy homemade dulce de leche with condensed milk recipe instead.

Yum, grilled pineapple is delicious just by itself, by with this delectable dulce de leche I wouldn’t miss the ice cream at all.

I’ve never made homemade dulce de leche before. I love how simple it sounds to make! Can’t wait to give it a try! And with pineapple? Wouldn’t have thought of that in a million years – but it’s brilliant! <3
Riz
Thanks so much, Jo! I hope you enjoy it!!!

Ok, this has two things I absolutely adore! I’m not going to lie, there has been plenty of times I’ve bought dulce de leche and eaten it straight from the jar with a spoon. Now I need to try it homemade! And how have I never thought to have it with pineapple? I absolutely need this.

Thanks for commenting, Vanessa! Mmm…a spoon is an excellent pairing with dulce de leche!
