Recipe Round-Up 5 Potluck-Friendly Desserts for Summer By: Lodge Cast Iron / June 2, 2022 Our favorite thing about warm weather is that it brings gatherings with friends and family outdoors. Instead of arriving to the party with store-bought cookies and a bag of chips (we’ve done it, too), make a dessert that tastes like summer and is easy to bring to pool parties, picnics, or cookouts. E-mail this page Share on Facebook Share on Pinterest Share on Twitter Print this page American Flag Cake Bring this festive treat to kick off the summer at your Memorial Day cookout or enjoy it at your Fourth of July celebration. It’s delicious and colorful, and you’ll have plenty to share because this recipe serves a crowd—30 to 40 people, to be exact. Rustic Berry Skillet Galette with Almonds We also can’t resist eating summer berries by the handful on the way home from the farmers market—but you should save some for this skillet galette. Fresh and satisfying but not too rich, it’s the perfect addition to any picnic spread. Plus, your crust won’t have to be perfect because the fresh berries really are the star of this dessert. Skillet S’mores Dip Get the sticky-gooey-sweet-and-chocolatey nostalgia of a classic s’more without the campfire or mess. A favorite with kids and adults alike, the s’mores dip is ready in under fifteen minutes, feeds 8 to 10 people, and can be warmed up on the grill in a cast iron skillet. Win-win-win! Strawberry Pie Cast iron provides just the right heat for tall pies with beautiful crusts, even when they’re loaded with juicy strawberries. We like to make this Instagram-worthy pie in a dual handle pan for easy transport from the car to your picnic blanket. Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie This is our go-to for kid-friendly gatherings because it’s the perfect vessel for a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream so you can say goodbye to messy ice cream cones. It’s also a fun choice if you have a young chef who likes to impress their friends with their baking skills. Love to savor the outdoors? We do too. Check out more of our favorite cookout fare. The Perfect Fourth of July Menu The Fourth of July cookout is an American tradition defined by an abundance of finger foods and booze and often, too few napkins (it’s okay—it’s time to rethink those matching t-shirts anyway). This year, we’ve got you covered with a menu that reimagines the classics. 9 Vegetarian Grilling Recipes to Inspire Your Next Cookout There’s more to meatless grilling than veggie burgers. 5 Recipes for Grill-Worthy Handhelds We’re all for all-season grilling, but there’s something about these longer, warmer days that gets us especially excited to fire up the coals. And what’s better than eating with your hands under the wide-open sky? 9 Grill Pan Recipes for Year-Round Sizzling With a great grill pan in your kitchen, grilling, sizzling, and searing are year-round options—rain or shine. 5 Recipes to Start Your Camp Cooking Adventure New to camp cooking?
