Kids in the Kitchen Wednesday: Grilled Desserts

With summer coming up and warmer weather on the way (we promise); there is nothing better than grilling out or going camping with the family.  Last weekend, the Arkansas Test Kitchen prepared two different desserts on the grill: one for the kids and one for the big kids. 

The kids did a Grilled S'mores Cone that was delicious and fun for the kids to make.

Grilled S'mores Cone

1 sugar or waffle cone per person
1 bag mini marshmallows
1 bag mini chocolate chips (we used Milk Chocolate)
Fruit of your choice (we used bananas and strawberries)
Aluminum foil

Take the cone and layer marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, and fruit. Repeat layers until almost full

Carefully roll the cone in aluminum foil

Place the foiled cones on indirect, medium heat on the grill for 7 - 10 minutes (I used an upside down beer can chicken holder to hold them while they were on the grill)

 

 

 S'mores Pie

1 graham cracker pie crust
1 bag mini marshmallows
1 bag mini chocolate chips

In the crust place an even amount marshmallows and chocolate chips, until pie crust is full. Don't heap the pie crust with toppings.

Cover the top of the pie with foil; creating a tent with the foil so it does not touch the marshmallows and chocolate chips

Place crust on indirect, low heat on the grill for 4 - 5 minutes

Allow to cool slightly, then serve.

 

 

 

 

 

We look forward to sharing more warm weather recipes with you as we get closer to summertime!

 

Stay Cool,
