Looking for unique summer desserts you can proudly serve all season long? These dessert recipes are so great you can even make them on the grill!
We live outside as much of the summer as we can. It’s where we cook, where we dine, where we lounge and where we play too many rounds of cornhole.
When we’re entertaining (which is often) I love offering up a sweet little dessert, but don’t want to be stuck in the kitchen. That’s where these simple summer desserts you can make on the grill come into play!
A good rule of thumb? Any dessert that can be wrapped in aluminum foil or made in a cast iron skillet is fair game for making on the grill instead of the oven.
Here you’ll find just a few of our favorite summer dessert recipes perfect for making on the grill – from berries to caramel to ooey gooey s’mores – oh my!
Oatmeal Cookie Blueberry Peach Cobbler Recipe
This oatmeal cookie blueberry peach cobbler recipe is one of my very favorite summer desserts. Instead of using a typical baking dish, layer the ingredients in a well seasoned cast iron skillet and bake your cobbler on the grill with the lid closed. To make it even tastier, top each serving with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate summer treat.
