I complete a grilled meal with this light, refreshing dessert. By the time we're done eating, the coals have cooled to the right temperature. I brush slices of pineapple and pound cake with a sweet sauce, toast them on the grill, and top 'em with ice cream and convenient caramel sauce.

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
