Like a lot of people, I tend not to give too much thought to dessert when I'm throwing a cookout. Savory dishes are more my style, and if I've got the grill going, I'm probably cooking up more than enough meaty main dishes and hearty sides to fill up on.
Then again, I have friends who seem to reserve a special internal storage compartment for dessert at a barbecue. You know the types—the ones who'll eat just two-thirds of a burger and peck lightly at their pasta salad, but are the first to start hovering over the icebox pie or cheesecake once it appears, holding out only as long as politeness demands before they dive in. And at this time of year—when we're staring down the end of berry season, peach season, watermelon season, and, arguably, ice cream season—can you really blame them? Think of the ideal end to your Labor Day barbecue: leaning back in your camp chair or Adirondack while the sunset glows, the noise from your remaining guests dropping to a murmur, cicadas buzzing, maybe some fireflies winking here and there in the twilight. The only thing that could possibly be missing from this scene is the moment when you dip into a rich homemade ice cream or a chocolaty, campfire-style grilled banana boat —something to bring out your inner child, just like summer itself does. Here are 27 recipes for sweet treats (including 10 different ice cream flavors!) to cap off your perfect end-of-summer celebration.
