Recipes for the Everyday Grill Master
The desserts category is a mix of smoker desserts (dump cakes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, apples), grilled fruit (peaches, pineapple), campfire treats (cones), cobblers, and a fun Blackstone chocolate chip cookie. Here we go:
Turns out the smoker makes a mean pumpkin pie, and I'm never going back to the oven.
Once I realized the grill could handle dessert too, everything changed. Peaches caramelize into candy on the grates, apples bubble away in a cast iron skillet, and a pumpkin dump cake picks up just a whisper of smoke that makes people say "wait, what IS that?" (My husband now takes personal credit for the smoked desserts because, and I quote, "I'm the one who bought the smoker." Sure, babe.) These dessert recipes are the sweet ending to every cookout, holiday, or backyard bonfire.
You'll find smoked dessert recipes like Smoked Pumpkin Pie, Smoked Pumpkin Dump Cake, Smoked Peach Dump Cake, Smoked Apples, Smoked Pumpkin Bread, and Apple Bread with Icing that works on the smoker or in the oven. For grilled desserts, there's caramelized Grilled Pineapple, Grilled Peaches with ice cream, Baked Apples on the Grill, and a Lemon Blueberry Crisp straight from the cast iron. Throw in Campfire Cones for the kids (and the adults, let's be honest) and warm, gooey Blackstone Chocolate Chip Cookies, and dessert night is covered.
Summer cookouts, fall bonfires, Thanksgiving, or just a random Saturday that needs a treat, these grilled and smoked dessert recipes add a little something extra to the sweet stuff. Fire it up and save room.
