If I’ve learned anything in my almost three years of marriage it’s letting my man do or tend to the grill. It’s like it is their sanctuary, their baby, their happy project. My husband is pretty happy to let me do the cooking and baking in the family but once we move to the back porch he takes the reins. Theres something satisfying to them about grabbing a cold beer and being able to Man The Grill. I would never want to take that IMPORTANT burger or steak role from him. Nor do I sit their and say you need to add this or cook it that way.
I just don’t.
However, he works during the daytime and I’m at home with the free willpower to cook/bake/grill anything that I want or crave on that particular day. Well, ladies I took over the grill for the afternoon. I pulled back the dusty cover to release the grill, shiny color and all its cooking glory. It was all mine. Free range to cook what ever I wanted before he pulled back into the drive for the evening.
Most women or people would grill a steak or some fresh romaine lettuce. Oh how I love the crisp taste of grilled romaine lettuce with a little bit of salt and balsamic vinegar. This day I was venturing away from the norm and I was going to make a grilled raspberry shortcake with raspberry cream. I was intrigued with the flavor combo since people usually use strawberries instead, but this was my dish and my grill to man.
In our local stores the main brand of berries is Driscolls. I’m so happy to be teaming up with them today for this gratifying berry shortcake dish. They offer raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries plus some organic berries as well. Raspberries scream dessert dish to me. Whether it be dipping them in sugar and water or adding them to a classic dish.
I thought about skewering up my raspberries but wasn’t sure how well they would hold up with the grill grates, so I stuck with MY trusty grill basket. In a matter of a couple of seconds I had some nice grilled raspberries for my recipe.

This looks fantastic. I always lean towards strawberries…and whenever I use raspberries it reminds me how much I love them too!
These look absolutely amazing! I love fresh berries!
Meagan, I let my husband take over on the grill too – and I like when he does! I would never have thought to grill the berries and shortcake – looks delicious!

I love raspberries for breakfast. I am also thinking about making a fancy schmancy tart with a nut crust. Love this idea for the grilled shortcakes. Tweeting it out.
I can just eat container after container of raspberries! They are my favorite! As for a recipe, there is a layer cake recipe that uses raspberries that I have pinned that I really want to try!

I love all Driscoll’s berries! I eat them plain ALL the time and sometimes with plain yogurt, vanilla and honey, my favorite breakfast!
I make yoghurt parfait with granola, raspberries and blueberries
I just love this and the fact that it is grilled is perfect!
I would make a raspberry ice cream topping like my grandma used to do. There’s nothing like those tart raspberries on vanilla ice cream on a summer day.
i’ve been dying to make a raspberry and chocolate ganache torte. so rich and creamy!!

I wouldn’t have thought to grill shortcake, but this sounds fantastic! I’ve been wanting to make French toast stuffed with cream cheese and fresh berries, so that’s next up on my berry bucket list, just after this recipe!
I love to make trifles during the summer, so I would find a great recipe with raspberries!

With that many berries I would make raspberry panna cotta, raspberry Charlotte cakes, raspberry coulis to drizzle over tequila poached pears, raspberry & apple empanadas, raspberry pulled pork and then I’d sip champagne whilst eating fresh raspberries.
I’d have to eat some straight from the box first, then I’d make a raspberry shortcake with real whipped cream. Yum!
Crunchy, and tasteful, the perfect summer desert!
