EZ Grilled Strawberry Cheesecake Dessert.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Anyone can make this quick and easy dessert. It's like a strawberry shortcake brought to a new level of yumminess. Brushing premade pound cake with butter and grilling it forms a nice crust and keeps the cake from getting too soggy. The cheesecake filling is sandwiched between strawberry jam and adds richness. It pairs deliciously with the sliced summer strawberries. Once assembled, drizzling it with chocolate is the perfect touch. Make sure not to skip that step! This recipe is a great example of how to turn store-bought ingredients into a delicious summer dessert.

How To Make ez grilled strawberry cheesecake dessert

Test Kitchen Tips

We had this dessert prepped and then realized there was an issue with our grill. We used an indoor grill to grill the pound cake and it worked great.

Step 1

Slice the pound cake so there are 2 slices per person.

Step 2

Brush both sides of each slice with melted butter.
Step 3

Put on a hot grill for 3-5 min per side. Check often as it will easily burn!
Step 4

Dice clean strawberries and sprinkle with sugar. Add jam to a small bowl.
Step 5

Place one slice of cake on a plate. Brush jam on the top of the cake slice.
Step 6

Then add a generous amount of the cheesecake filling.
Step 7

Spread 2nd slice of cake with jam, and place jam side down on the cheesecake filling.
Step 8

Add a big scoop of strawberries.
Step 9

Top with whipped topping. Then drizzle with chocolate syrup. Garnish with fresh mint if you like, then serve and watch everyone enjoy. EZ, yummy, and elegant!
