This simple five ingredient dessert recipe is a real show stopper. You can cook it on a regular grill too; just double the cooking time.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 3 minutes

Total Time: 18 minutes

Yield: Serves 8

Ingredients:

  • 10 oz. frozen loaf pound cake, thawed
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping

Preparation:

Cut pound cake into 8 slices. In small bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon and mix to combine. Spread on one side of pound cake and cover the butter mixture with chopped pecans. Grill cake slices on two sided grill for 2-3 minutes, or on a regular grill for 2-3 minutes per side, turning once, until cake is heated and pecans are browned and fragrant. Drizzle with ice cream topping to serve.
