Roast Pineapple Ice Cream Sundae with Rum and Star Anise Syrup
Grilled pineapple, caramelised over the coals and simmered in a boozy rum and star anise syrup. Layered with salted caramel or coconut ice cream and fun toppings, it’s an indulgent barbecue sundae with real showstopper appeal.
Grilled Pineapple with Rum & Coconut Caramel
Pineapple, coconut and rum are perfect summer flavours so are combined here in our perfect summer dessert! Grilling the pineapple enhances the flavour, bringing out extra sweetness. We cook the pineapple in rounds for ease of grilling and remove the fibrous centre later.
Smoked Summer Strawberry Meringue Nest with Elderflower
Crisp BBQ-baked meringue nests filled with birch-smoked whipped cream, topped with elderflower-syrup strawberries and fresh basil. An elegant, smoky-sweet dessert that turns campfire technique into a delicate summer showstopper.
Scrumptious BBQ Scones
Scones on the BBQ – oh yes! Quick to rustle up, quick to bake and quick to eat! No need to wait for them to cool, they’ll be ready to tuck into when they come off the grill.
Halloumi & Strawberry Skewers
Grilled halloumi, cucumber, and strawberry skewers, charred over the hot bbq and served on a bright strawberry-lemon dressing. Paired with a fresh herb salad and toasted pittas, it’s a sweet-savoury summer barbecue starter that’s ready in minutes.
Roast Pear & Brown Butter Frangipane Tart with Smoked Salted Caramel
Nutty brown butter frangipane is topped with grill-caramelised pear halves and baked until golden, giving these individual tarts a rich, smoky depth you won’t get from an oven. A generous drizzle of smoked salted caramel and a scattering of lemon thyme finish them off for a dessert that’s indulgent yet beautifully simple.
BBQ-baked Upside Down Orange Cake
As we welcome spring, a light, zesty sponge cake is the perfect treat to brighten those lingering cool, drizzly days and crisp evenings. You can put this into your BBQ to bake once you’ve removed the meat or main dish from your grills.
Marmalade Hot Cross Bread & Butter Pudding
A spin on a British classic and a good way to use up hot cross buns that are nearing best-by date, or like I did, bake your hot cross buns on the BBQ too (I used Phil Yeomans’ recipe, link below). You could also add chocolate chips or mini chocolate eggs for extra indulgence.
Rum Tarte Tatin
Discover our mouthwatering tarte tatin recipe, where caramelised apples are paired with buttery puff pastry and a splash of dark rum. This decadent dessert may take a bit of effort, but the delicious results are well worth it.
Zesty Eton Mess
I know lemon isn’t a traditional Eton Mess ingredient, but Eton Mess is only as traditional as a deconstructed (dropped) Australian Pavlova anyway, right? And, as we don’t like to waste ingredients here at BBQ magazine, it made sense to use up the leftover egg yolks from the meringue and make a lemon curd.
Rum and Pineapple Cake – The Dark and Stormy
Rum, pineapple, lime, ginger and caramel – probably one of the best flavour combinations undoubtedly created by pirates. Add the smoky complexity of charcoal and you’ve got a stunning pudding with theatre.
Skillet Pan Apple Crumble
If you’ve still got apples left over from the autumn, this is a hearty comfort pudding which you can serve from the BBQ straight to the table and dive in with a big spoon.
Spiced Rum Nicky
A traditional Cumbrian dessert our boozy & fruity ‘Rum Nicky’ tastes so rich and indulgent that a little goes a long way and it won’t break the bank.
Apple & Cinnamon Swirls
It’s apple season and this is an easy sweet treat to make. The main ingredients are apples and ready-rolled puff pastry. The hardest bit is grating the apples!
Burnt Blackberry & Fig Jam
Inspired by the famous Australian chef Maggie Beer and her Burnt Fig Jam. You must be brave with this recipe and let the fruit burn just enough to get that perfect combination of bitter, sweet, smoky and completely moreish consistency.
New York BBQ Baked Cheesecake
I’m bringing a bit of America here for this summer dessert – BBQ baked cheesecake! It’s got a buttery biscuit base and I’ve topped it with my favourite summer fruit mixed in with some of my homemade strawberry jam – the British strawberry season will be in full swing by now.
Strawberry & Black Pepper Upside-Down Cake
What says summer more than strawberries? Aston Prideaux shares his upside down cake recipe for perfect summer dessert.
Ginger Cake with Caramelised Pineapple and Ginger Butterscotch Sauce
A wonderful warming ginger cake with pineapple and butterscotch sauce for a sweet treat.
Chocolate and Orange Swirls
You can use Terry’s chocolate orange, which I did for this recipe, or plain dark or milk chocolate. Any leftovers will make a delicious bread and butter pudding.
Pizza Oven Apple Frangipane Tart
Baking this tart in a pizza oven not only adds a touch of rustic charm but also ensures an evenly cooked, golden-brown crust that is both crisp and tender.
Texas Trash Pie
Hailing from Round Top, Texas this is a fantastically simple dish that can be switched up as you like and can utilise all four corners of your pantry but trust me with everything you throw in this, it is far from ‘trash’.
Spiced Apple Muffins
A warming treat that’s quick to rustle up – no whisking for these tasty muffins and once you’ve grated and chopped the apples, weighed out all the ingredients, and cooked they will be straight out of the BBQ into your bellies!
Mince Pie Festive Pizza with Orange Curd, Cinnamon Crumble and Baileys Cream
For all those pizza lovers out there, here is a festive spin on an old classic for a sweet treat.
Rum & Raisin Bakewell Tart
This recipe combines the aromatic kick of Hattiers rum for some Caribbean flair with a buttery French classic almond tart. Bake it in a lidded BBQ like a ceramic Kamado Joe, which will consistently hold its heat, for a complex smoky undertone that adds to the caramelised notes of the tart.
Grilled Bananas with a Whiskey Caramel Sauce
A quick, simple dessert. Perfect cooked on live fire, charcoal or gas. The whiskey caramel sauce could be used across many other desserts or just over vanilla ice cream.
Poached Pears in Red Wine
This is a warming dessert and so easy to make. Two main ingredients – pears and a bottle of red wine!

Hot Cross Buns

Woodfire Christmas Cake
This cake is quick to prepare and cook. TIP: You can skip the smoking; in a bowl, mix the first 4 ingredients with warmed brandy. Leave to marinate for 1 hour.
Charcoal Ice Cream
Apart from the colour and an unappealing sand-like texture, there’s very little to showcase the flavour of the charcoal. This ice cream, on the other hand, isn’t black but is packed full of the kaleidoscope of sensations you’d expect from those flaming fragrant embers.
Backyard Biscuits
In Britain, these would be known as scones. And if you want to know why Americans call these biscuits rather than scones – blame the Atlantic Ocean. Call them what you want, these flaky pillows will leave you speechless.
S’mores Brownies
Indulge in DJ BBQ’s S’mores Brownies, a delectable treat to serve 12-15. Bake in a wood-fired oven at 180°C with love and enjoy!
Grilled Mango with Coconut Ice Cream
Grilled mango with a hint of cinnamon and a refreshing coconut ice cream. A delicious and easy-to-make dessert for your next BBQ.
Beer and Pecan Chocolate Cake Brownies with Cream Cheese Frosting
The addition of beer in this recipe produces a more ‘cake’ like brownie than the traditional ‘fudgey’ variety. We used pecans but you can swap for nuts of your choice or chocolate chips.
Summer Fruit Pavlova
Baking in your BBQ – as long as you’ve got a lid – is relatively easy and a great way to use that residual heat. I usually bake indirect and put an upturned baking tin on top of my grills to prevent the base from burning. It acts as a deflector from the heat underneath.
Grilled Doughnut S’mores with Chilli Chocolate Sauce
An all-out extravaganza of caramelised sugar, s’mores are one of those desserts that have no rules. Have fun by wrapping the marshmallows up in doughnuts, then toasting them and dunking them in a wonderful spice-infused chocolate sauce.
Sozzled Apricot Bruschetta with Orange Cream
This is a showstopper, believe me. Grilled panettone topped with sozzled apricots, lavishly dolloped with orange cream and a decadent drizzle of honey. It is the most delicious dessert to serve when apricots are in season.
Chocolate Pots
I love to cook puddings on the BBQ and these delicious chocolate pots are a real treat. Cook them just right and they will still be gooey in the middle.
Spiced Orange Cake
If you have a BBQ with a lid, why not use the residual heat from your coals and rustle up a delicious cake? I love to bake in my Kamado Joe. My top baking tips are to cook indirect at a slightly lower temperature and cook for a little longer. This cake is eaten best on the day you make it and while it’s still warm.
Lemon Tart
When life gives you lemons – and you’ve residual heat in your BBQ – how about baking a delicious, zingy lemon tart? You can use shop-bought pastry but it’s very easy to make your own.
Rhubarb Clafoutis
I love making desserts with whatever fruit is in season and in spring, you can quite often get the early pink rhubarb, which has more delicate flavour, or the more chunkier crop a little later in the year, which has more flavour and deeper in colour.
Pear and Gingerbread Cake
It’s the weather for warm, sticky puddings and this cake hits the spot. All you need is a big jug of creamy custard to go with it. No need to cook the pears first and it’s not a cake you turn out of the pan like an upside-down cake so, once cooked, grab a spoon and dive in.
Skillet Pan Apple Crumble
If you’ve still got apples left over from the autumn, this is a hearty comfort pudding which you can serve from the BBQ straight to the table and dive in with a big spoon.
Smoked Spring Rhubarb and Ginger White Chocolate Blondie
