Barbecue dessert recipes
Make the most of your grill this summer with our delicious barbecue dessert recipes. The barbecue is good for so much more than burgers and bangers: think juicy chargrilled fruits, skillet puddings and retro banana splits.
The barbecue always stays hot longer than you need it to, so make the most of those cooling embers with our raspberry brownie pudding – or coax out the sweetness of summer fruits with recipes for grilled peaches and a fabulous grilled nectarine and barbecued praline sundae.
Our barbecue dessert recipes include summer favourites like baked banana splits and chilli pineapple, plus some unexpected bakes. Did you know you can cook a crisp galette on the over the coals? Fire up the barbecue and discover the sweet side of summer grilling…
