Pineapple with light caramelization

• pineapple slices
• brown sugar

Lightly sprinkle the pineapple with sugar and grill for 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized.

Gentle acidity + caramel = the perfect balance.

Marshmallow sandwiches (a classic)

• marshmallows
• chocolate hazelnut spread
• butter cookies
Warm the marshmallow over the heat, then press it between two cookies spread with chocolate hazelnut spread.

This is the dessert everyone knows — and it is always the first to disappear. You can also use pistachio spread.

A grill is not just for savory food. If you use it all the way to the end, you get the full experience — from the first bite to the sweet finish.

Add one really good BBQ salad on the side

If you want the picnic to feel complete from start to finish, add one proper salad for the grill table. The sweet ending will land even better that way.

A great idea when you want something very simple, fragrant and a little more homey.
