11 Ultimate Grilled Dinner Party Desserts

11 Ultimate Grilled Dinner Party Desserts

As soon as the steaks and corn on the cob are cooked, we typically go to turn off our grill, with no further need for it that evening. But what if next time you were cooking dinner on the grill for you and friends, you left it on, wiped it down, and used it to cook your dessert, too? Not only does making your dessert on the grill save on washing up, it can also make the most decadent yet simple, sweet, and fruity treats.
