Quoting justahousewife:

I grilled an awesome dessert just last week; I bought angel food cake and fresh pineapple, sliced it and cored the pineapple than stuck it the slices on the grill after dinner came off, when they were ready to turn over I sliced up the angel food cake and placed them on the grill with the pineapple for a couple of minutes on both sides. I plated them and poured a yummy raspberry chocolate sauce I'd made over the top. 

I like grilling fruit with butter, molasses and/or brown sugar wrapped in tin foil. 

That sounds tasty

We sometimes do fruit kabos or grilled peaches.

Grilled Fruit Kabobs

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup margarine
• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 fresh peaches, pitted and quartered
• 3 fresh plums, pitted and quartered
• 3 bananas, cut into 4 pieces each
• 12 strawberries, hulled
• 12 skewers

Directions

1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and place a large sheet of foil onto the grate.
2. Melt the margarine and honey together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Do not let the sauce boil.
3. Thread a peach quarter, a plum quarter, a banana piece, and a strawberry onto each skewer. Place the skewers onto the foil on the preheated grill; spoon margarine-honey mixture over each skewer.
4. Grill until the fruit is softened and the sauce has thickened and cooked onto the fruit, about 5 minutes. Flip the skewers, spoon more margarine-honey sauce over each, and grill for about 5 more minutes on the other side.
