Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound cake
- 2 cups raspberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Slice the pound cake into 1-inch thick slices. Rinse the raspberries under cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
- In a medium bowl, combine the raspberries and sugar. Toss them gently to coat the raspberries with sugar. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes to let the raspberries release their juices and create a syrup.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the pound cake slices directly on the grill. Grill each slice for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have nice grill marks. Remove from the grill and let them cool slightly.
- While the pound cake is grilling, prepare the serving dishes. Place one slice of grilled pound cake on each plate.
- Using a scoop, add a generous portion of vanilla ice cream on top of each slice of grilled pound cake.
- Once the raspberries have released their juices, spoon the raspberry topping over the ice cream, allowing some to drizzle down the sides of the pound cake.
- For a touch of freshness, garnish each sundae with a few mint leaves.
- Serve immediately while the pound cake is warm and the ice cream is cold, and enjoy your delightful Grilled Pound Cake Sundaes with Raspberry Topping!
Tips
- Choose the Right Pound Cake: For the best flavor and texture, opt for a homemade or high-quality store-bought pound cake. A buttery cake will enhance the overall taste of your sundae.
- Grill with Care: Preheat your grill or grill pan properly to achieve those beautiful grill marks. Keep an eye on the pound cake as it grills to prevent burning; a golden-brown color is what you’re aiming for.
- Customize the Topping: Feel free to experiment with other fruits like strawberries or blueberries for a different twist. You can also add a splash of lemon juice to the raspberry mixture for a zesty kick!
- Serve Immediately: This dessert is best enjoyed fresh. Serve it right after assembling to experience the delightful contrast of warm pound cake and cold ice cream.
- Garnish for Presentation: A sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate sauce can elevate the visual appeal of your sundae. Don't forget the mint leaves for a pop of color!
