Grilled Strawberry Shortcake with Lemon Cream

My goodness, what a great dessert this grilled strawberry shortcake with lemon cream is. Grilled pound cake is a delicious thing. Top it with a homemade lemon cream and grilled strawberries and you have something truly special. I made the fantastic lemon cream sauce by hand, as stated in the recipe, but you could shortcut it and just whip some lemon zest and vanilla extract in with some store bought whipped topping.

Grilled Strawberry Shortcake Lemon Cream

The pound cake doesn’t take long to get grill marks and a light little crunch along the edges, so don’t leave it unattended on the grill (I use my Weber grill). You want grilled strawberry shortcake with lemon cream, not burnt.

Making dessert on the grill is fun. Also try my grilled maple bacon pineapple rings.
