Grilled Ice Cream Cake Ice cream, homemade meringue and cake, rolled into one and prepared outdoors on the grill. Those steaks will look like nothing sitting next to this monster of a dessert! (pictured above, left)

Barbecued Apple Pie Nothing says USA like an all-American homemade apple pie. Why not cook yours on the grill? What a great way to celebrate the fourth of July! (pictured, right)

Grilled Pineapple with Coconut For something a bit lighter, try grilled fruit! With just a hint of rum, this is a grilled dish for adults, but if you're serving kids, you can omit the rum and it's still quite tasty.

Grilled Peaches with Ice Cream A user gave this grilled dessert recipe five out of five stars and said, "Fantastic! Easy to make and a lot of fun to consume. Finished peaches were soft enough to cut with a spoon and I drizzled the remaining marinade over the ice cream for a great presentation."
