Why should the braai stop at the main course? Once the steaks and chops are off the grill, turn your attention to something sweet. From fruit caramelised over hot coals to indulgent cookie dough, s’more doughnuts and a classic sweet pot bread, these desserts make the most of the braai and bring a little extra theatre to the end of the meal.
Here are 8 delicious dessert recipes to finish your next braai on a sweet note.
1. Soetbrood (Sweet bread)
This sweet pot bread can also be made the traditional way – on the braai. If you are doing it following the indirect method on a Weber, treat it as an oven and pop the lid on for the duration of the cooking. If you are making this on a traditional grid braai, place the pot low over medium-hot coals and place a few coals on the lid of the pot.
2. Butterscotch sauce with marshmallows
You can make this recipe in a pot over the coals.
3. Cinnamon pumpkin fritters with caramel sauce
