These Grilled Desserts Are the Recipe for an Extra-Sweet Cookout
Here’s an idea: Cook dessert outside!
Thomas J. Story
When the grill is already hot, why let it cool down before dessert? Fire transforms sweet ingredients in ways an oven simply can’t. Fruit becomes caramelized and its flavor profile changes—pineapple becomes less tangy and richer and sweeter, while stone fruits can turn tender and syrupy. Cake edges become crisper with just a little tinge of char.
The best part is a lot of grilled desserts are hands-off. Many recipes just require a little bit of preparation and throwing it on the grill and letting the heat do its thing. And when you’re busy hosting a backyard barbecue, the less you have to do, the better!
These recipes below offer a unique take on the end-of-the-meal sweet treat. From Grill-Baked Apple Crisp to the Ultimate S’mores recipe, these desserts are sure to impress. You’ll want to make them all summer long!
