In our last post, we covered some unique ways to add a flavorful kick to savory BBQ recipes. In this post, we tried to do the samebut with the sweeter side dishes and desserts. Some of which even incorporate the grill to bring out appealing textures and confident flavors. From ice cream to pound cake, theres something for everyone below.
Summer Berry Ice Cream
While some die hard fans of ice cream in the Pacific Northwest might still indulge in this cooler treat in the cooler months, it just hits the spot a little differently in the summer. And if youve just picked up some berries at the local farmers market, this is a great way to put them to use.
Though the recipe calls for a little vodka, you can just as easily do without it. You can find this ten minute recipe over here.
Grilled Rose-Water Poundcake
If the grill is already still warm from cooking your savory dishes, you might as well capitalize on the remaining embers to add some extra flavor to your dessert. With just seven simple ingredients, including a little rose water, you can have this tasty poundcake ready for the grill after about an hour in the oven.
While the recipe recommends peach compote, dont be afraid to experiment.
Tamarind-Chile Ice Pops
Popsicles are pretty easy to make, which is probably why theyre such a seasonal staple. But tamarind is a sweet and sour flavor from the border that will add some diversity to your usual store-bought popsicles.
With just a little tamarind concentrate, a dash of chile powder, and a popsicle mold, youll have these ready for your BBQ before you know it. Saveur has the recipe and ingredients.
Grilled Cantaloupe
If you can grill poundcake, you definitely grill fruit. And why wouldnt you? Charred cantaloupe adds a new dynamic to this light summer melon. With a few blueberries and a sweet and sour peach agrodolce, this is a dead simpleand still equally classyway to serve a fruit-based dessert at any BBQ. You can find the recipe in full over here.
