    grilled doughnuts strawberry shortcake

    This recipe is exactly why I love what I do…I get to try all kinds of new things…the other night, it was Grilled Doughnuts. Used as the “shortcake” in strawberry shortcake. I shared with some friends that I was grilling doughnuts, and the response was “SHUT UP. That is not right.” (I think she was a little jealous!)

    I don’t make dessert all that often. When I do, it’s usually some kind of cookie because I’ve got several different recipes memorized, making it super quick and easy to whip up a batch or two, or four. Well move on over cookies, because there’s a new memorized dessert recipe in town…

    It only has 4 ingredients…and the cooking process couldn’t be easier to make…and memorize!

    • Doughnuts – slice and grill for 2-3 minutes.
    • Strawberries – mash and pour sugar over the top and let sit for a few minutes.
    • Assemble. Devour.

    See. Easy to make, easy to memorize. You’re welcome 😉

    I used glazed doughnuts and I was a little worried that the glaze would melt off while they were on the grill, but turns out that it did melt a little, but ended up caramelizing around the edges. This “shortcake” had a perfect slight crunch on the doughnut, combined with a just sweet enough strawberry “sauce”…rounded out with the creamy whipped topping. Amazing way to end a summer night’s dinner!

      Oh my gosh Erin that looks amazing! Both my husband and I are drooling over here.

      Going to be watching for some glazed doughnuts on the bakery discount rack this week so I can make this!

      My hubs was all “don’t grill mine, I’ll just have a doughnut and berries separately.” Yeah, he devoured what was left of our son’s, then went ahead and had a grilled one. So good. Also, I don’t know who you super human people are that can mash strawberries with a fork… but, I had to throw mine in the Ninja for 6-7 pulses.
