3 BBQ Summer Desserts
Chocolate Brownie in an Orange
INGREDIENTS
1 ¾ cups (15oz/427g) all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons dark unsweetened cocoa powder
16 ½ oz (465g) dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 ½ cup (12oz/337g) unsalted butter
2 ¼ cups (18oz/ 510g) granulated sugar
¾ cups (6oz/168g) packed light brown sugar
7 eggs at room temperature
3 tsp vanilla extract
METHOD
1. To make the Brownies: Put the chocolate and butter in a large bowl and set it over a saucepan of simmering water or place in the microwave. Stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth.
2. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool a little.
3. Add the sugars. Whisk until completely combined. The mixture should be room temperature.
4. Whisk the eggs and vanilla in a jug together.
5. Add a little of the eggs to the chocolate mixture and whisk until combined. Add the remaining eggs and whisk until combined. Do not overbeat the batter at this stage or your brownies will be cakey.
6. Sift the flour, salt and cocoa over the chocolate mixture. Using a rubber spatula (not a whisk), fold the flour mixture into the chocolate until just a bit of the flour mixture is visible. Set aside.
7. To prepare your oranges: Carefully takes a seated knife and take out the center of the orange.
8. Once you take a bit out you can go in with a spoon and scoop the rest out. You don't have to take out all of the pulp.
9. Pour the batter into your orange 3/4 of the way. Place it's lid on and wrap in tin foil
10. Place directly on the grills on medium heat (350oF/180oC) and bake for roughly 35-45 minutes.
11. Enjoy straight away with Vanilla ice cream.
Fruit Kebabs
INGREDIENTS
1 loaf (shortcake,sponge cake, brioche, angel food cake)
1 lb pkg strawberries, washed
8 wooden skewers
METHOD
1. Soak your wooden skewers in water for at least 2 hours. This prevents them from burning on the grill. Preheat grill, medium high heat (roughly 300oF/150oC)
2. Cut the cake into 2 inch cubes
3. Take the hull out of the strawberries
4. Thread alternating strawberries and cake on each wooden skewer.
5. Place on the grill and cook for roughly 4-5 minutes, rotating them during the cooking. They are done when the cake is toasted.
6. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream
7. Enjoy!
Grilled Banana Split
INGREDIENTS
Whole bananas
Ice cream (I used vanilla)
Salted caramel Sauce
Toasted slivered almonds
METHOD
1. When the grill is at medium heat (roughly 300oF/150oC), place the banana in their skin straight on the bars.
2. Close down the lid and grill for 10 minutes on each side. They will turn black on the skin and that is exactly what you want to happen.
3. Using a knife, cut out a small strip of peel from the top of your banana, leaving one end intact. Pull back the strip, and use a knife or spoon to carve a shallow "canyon" down the center of your banana.
4. Place your ice cream and sauce in the center and enjoy straight away.
