Grilled Fruit Kabobs with Key Lime Yogurt Dip are a win at any BBQ. The grill really enhances the flavor of pineapples, bananas, strawberries, and melons.
These grilled fruit kabobs were actually a genius idea of my husbands. I was wanting to figure out a tasty appetizer using fruit and he suggested making fruit kabobs and throwing them on the grill. They were so incredibly good!! I knew I was going to like it because I am already crazy about grilled pineapple and banana. You can do any combination of fruit you like, they all had a really great unique flavor being grilled. A really good option, if you can find it, is drizzling the kabobs with some coconut white balsamic. I bought some at a specialty balsamic shop and it was amazing on these kabobs!!
Ingredients
For Basting
- Honey
- Coconut Flakes
- optional coconut white balsamic
For the Yogurt Dip
- 1 small personal size of your favorite light yogurt- for this recipe I did a Greek Key Lime Yogurt
- 1/4 c. Marshmallow fluff
- 2 oz. light cream cheese 1/4 of an 8 oz. brick
- 1 tsp key lime juice or regular lime juice
- coconut flakes to taste
Instructions
- If you use wood skewers, soak them in cold water first to avoid burning on the grill. Turn on grill to medium heat. Thread each skewer with your favorite fruits. Warm some honey in the microwave so its nice and warm and runny. Baste each kabob lightly with honey then sprinkle with coconut flakes. Grill until the fruit gets some nice grill marks on each side. Remove to a serving plate (optional: drizzle with a little coconut white balsamic).
For the Yogurt Dip:
- Beat the light yogurt, marshmallow fluff, light cream cheese, lime juice, and coconut flakes together and put in a small dish for dipping. Keep refrigerated.
Equipment
- Outdoor Barbecue Grill

Hey, Kiddo, made this to go with our Father’s Day bbq. Loved it. I put pears in there also. The bananas were delish. I mixed up equal parts honey and used Kraft strawberry balsamic vinegar to brush over the fruit. Turned out great. Everyone loved it. I’m trying something from your instagram posts almost every week. Keep up the great job.
