It’s a refreshing and creative way to showcase your barbecue’s amazing versatility. Have you ever made a cocktail on your barbecue? Go on, impress your mates with the perfect party starter - caramelised pine-lime margs.
Laura’s Tip: Grill your fruit until it’s caramelised with distinct grill marks to unlock a deeper, richer flavour. Serve with crushed ice to make this (even) more refreshing.
3. Salted Choc-Brownie Cookies
Chocolate lovers will swoon over these decadent cookies, a cross between chewy brownies and crisp cookies. Cooked to perfection, the addition of flaky salt brings out the deep chocolate flavours, making them an ideal post-dinner indulgence.
Laura’s Tip: Use coarse sea salt for a dramatic flavour contrast that enhances the rich chocolate taste.
4. Tiramisu Roll-Over Pavlova
This unique dessert fuses the lightness of pavlova with the rich flavours of tiramisu. Barbecued meringue provides a smoky crunch, while the creamy mascarpone and coffee layers create a luxurious blend of textures and tastes.
Laura’s Tip: Keep your meringue crispy by barbecuing it at a low indirect, steady temperature, and assemble just before serving to preserve its texture.
5. Smoked Cinnamon-Sugared Almonds
Perfect as a snack or a sweet gift, these almonds are coated with cinnamon and sugar before being gently smoked on your barbecue. The result? A delightfully crunchy, sweet-and-smoky treat that’s hard to resist.
Laura’s Tip: Soak the almonds briefly before barbecuing to enhance their smoky flavour and ensure a perfect crunch.
Whether you're hosting a dinner party or just craving something sweet, these Weber dessert recipes are a must-try. Embrace the versatility of your barbecue and create desserts that will leave everyone asking for seconds (and the recipe)!
