Does anyone know of a good dessert you can make on a charcoal grill?

Question

The coals after you grill your dinner are at such a nice low temp-it would be nice to throw on some kind of dessert that would be ready after your main coarse. I am not looking for s'mores...........

Answer 1

Sweet Fruit Kabob

3 bananas, thick slices

2 Bartlett pears, sliced into thick wedges

2 granny smith apples, sliced into thick wedges

2 peaches, sliced into thick wedges

1 fresh pineapple cubed

Marinade:

1 cup grapefruit juice

1/2 cup honey

3/4 teaspoon chopped fresh mint

Combine juice, honey, and mint. Marinate fruit for at least 30 minutes. Place fruit on skewer, alternating types. Grill or broil for 6-8 minutes. Baste with marinade as needed.

Notes: The family has fun assembling. Little ones will need help cutting. Other juices can be substituted for marinade and the mint left out.

Number of Servings: 6-8

Answer 2

We fix this quite often--grilled fruit.  You can skewer it or not.

Mix up 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup rum, 2 t vanilla, 1/2 t each of cinnamon and ginger and 1/4 t chipotle chile pepper.  Stir to dissolve the sugar.  Brush on fruit pieces, pineapple, banana, star fruit, peaches, nectarines and the like and grill.  The grilled fruit is great on ice cream.

Answer 3

Make some fruit kabobs and serve them over ice cream.  It's so good and easy to do.

I recommend peaches, nectarines, apples, pineapple, melon, plums and similar fruits.  Simply cut them in half, remove the pit or seeds and in the case of the pineapple the tough center core.  Cut them in chunks at least 1 inch, keeping size uniform so they are done at the same time.  Allow one filled skewer per person.

Use wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes (to prevent burning).  Add your prepared fruits and drizzle with honey.  You can baste with melted butter during the last minute or two of cooking.  Place over hot coals and allow to brown before turning.  The time will depend on the heat of the coals.  Turn to brown on all sides, remove from heat and allow to cool for a couple of minutes.

Push fruit off skewers onto prepared bowls of vanilla ice cream and enjoy!

Good Eating............     :)

Answer 7

If you have a heavy iron skillet with a lid you can make any cobbler or fruit crumble recipe by placing it into the center of the hot coals and "baking" it that way.

Answer 8

All the above fruit ideas are great.  I would do that along with grilled sliced pound cake and whipped creap or ice cream on top.

Yum!
