CHAPTER 11

Desserts on Fire

Yes, you can grill your dessert. Your guests (and your family) will be surprised and delighted to see you serving dessert hot off the grill. And you’ll enjoy the change of routine—instead of baking indoors, you can whip up something sweet and satisfying outdoors, without leaving your guests.

Grilled fruit is the star in most of these desserts, so along with recipes for Grilled Peach Melba, Honeyed Hot Fruit Salad, and Fire-Roasted Nectarines, you’ll find tips on selecting juicy ripe pineapples and peaches. With Toasted Angel Cake with Summer Berries, you can have your cake and grill it, too. And finally, there is pizza for dessert—Chocolate, Hazelnut, and Banana Pizza, to be specific. Enjoy it all!
