Our favorite combination for this easy, warm-weather dessert is nectarines, pineapple, and cantaloupe. Crisp-soft amaretti (almond-flavored Italian macaroons) complement the sweet caramelized grilled fruits and cloudlike mascarpone perfectly. Buy them at specialty stores, or substitute your favorite almond or vanilla cookie.

Instructions
- Place a small pan over medium heat. Add coconut and toast for 1–2 minutes or until slightly golden. Set aside to cool completely.
- Lightly whip mascarpone and vanilla together and set aside at room temperature. Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Thread your favorite fruit combination on six skewers. Brush with olive oil and grill until lightly caramelized, about 3 minutes. Remove from skewers and place in parfait glasses or on dessert plates. Dollop with mascarpone and sprinkle with toasted coconut. If using cookies, crumble one into or over each serving. Garnish with mint.
