A super easy summer dessert, these Grilled Chocolate Sandwiches are made with pound cake, cherry preserves, and chocolate.
I love a dessert that is not only delicious, but is a piece of cake to throw together? This dessert would be perfect if you are entertaining guests at a backyard bbq, because you will have plenty of time to spend with your guests and not have to worry about slaving over the grill. It literally took minutes to make and was so delicious that I am still craving one today!
All it takes is premade pound cake, cherry preserves, chocolate and butter. And a bit of powdered sugar to sprinkle on top, if you want it! This is a dessert that is perfect all summer long.

Description
A super easy summer dessert, these Grilled Chocolate Sandwiches are made with pound cake, cherry preserves, and chocolate.
Ingredients
- 12 1/2-inch-thick slices of challah, brioche or pound cake (I used pound cake)
- 3 tablespoons Bing cherry preserves
- Two 4–ounce good-quality bittersweet chocolate bars, each cut into thirds (I used milk chocolate, because that’s what sounded good to me that day!)
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- confectioners’ sugar, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat a grill, griddle or nonstick grill pan to medium-low.
- Lay the bread or cake slices on a work surface. Brush each of 6 slices with 1/2 tablespoon of the cherry preserves.
- Top each brushed slice with 1 piece of the chocolate.
- Top with the remaining bread or cake slices.
- Brush the melted butter on both sides of each sandwich, and grill the sandwiches until the chocolate has melted and the bread is crisp and golden brown – 2 to 4 minutes per side.
- Cut the sandwiches in half or in quarters, dust with confectioners’ sugar, and serve warm.

I’ve seen about a dozen recipes from this book already throughout the food blogging world. Sounds like a book I will have to check out.
All of these dishes sound great, but I think those grilled chocolate sandwiches would be my pick for favorite.

oh emeril. i miss your live show–it was always entertaining and full of good eats. the man-and-grill notion definitely holds true for every man in my life, which is good, because i stink at it. 😉

I love the grilled ‘sandwiches’. They sound divine and great fun.
Elyse says
Wow, everything sounds fantastic. I mean, sweet potatoes are my fav, so you had me hooked from the very beginning. And what’s not to love about a pork and chorizo combo?! But, you know me…you have me crying over the beauty of those grilled chocolate “sandwiches.” I love desserts like that. YUM! I’m so glad your hubby relinquished the grill for a night so you could try out these awesome recipes.
Megan says
It all looks really good but wouldn’t that chocolate sandwich be great while camping? We camp alot and I’m going to try it! 🙂 Thanks!!!

We are really enjoying this book too especially that sweet potato salad!
Paula says
Mmmm … I’ll take a sample of all those goodies! We grill year round here. Of course, by grilling year round I mean that we press the ignite button on our gas grill located about 2 feet from the kitchen sliding door. My hubby used to be the grill master of our old charcoal grill, but now that we’ve gone gas for a few years, I’ve been wearing the crown. ‘Tis all good. 🙂

You’re so right about men and grilling!
The grilled sweet potatoes look delicious. And I really must try a grilled chocolate sandwich on our panini maker (sadly no real grill here).
