Grilling is no longer just for your own backyard. Whether it's a park, campsite, festival or by the water – grilling on the go is an essential part of summer. The right, compact equipment is crucial.
With the right setup, you can not only prepare your main course but also easily make a dessert – directly outdoors and without much effort.

Grilling dessert: Sweet highlights directly from the BBQ
When grilling, many people first think of savory dishes, but sweet dishes can also be prepared surprisingly easily on the grill. Fruits, chocolate or simple combinations of warm and cold are suitable.
What can you grill for dessert?
Here are two simple and delicious ideas that are also suitable for on the go.
Recipe: Grilled banana with chocolate
Ingredients:
- 2 bananas
- 50 g chocolate, e.g., dark or milk chocolate
- Optional: Nuts, marshmallows or berries
Preparation:
- Cut bananas lengthwise (do not remove the peel)
- Break chocolate into pieces and insert into the banana
- Add optional toppings
- Wrap banana in aluminum foil
- Grill for about 5 to 10 minutes
The banana becomes soft, the chocolate melts and voilà, a simple but delicious grilled dessert classic is ready. A fruity-fresh alternative is the following recipe:
Recipe: Grilled peaches with honey and crunch
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe peaches
