Barbecues always stay hot longer than you need them to, so make the most of those glowing embers by making this fabulous barbecue dessert. The layer of raspberries in this gooey brownie mix rises up from the base of the pan as it cooks over the coals, creating a lava-like ripple of tart berries. It was demolished in seconds in our test kitchen.

Method

Put the chocolate in a large heatproof bowl and melt over a pan of barely simmering water (don’t let the water touch the bowl). Stir the butter and sugar in a pan over a medium heat until melted and combined, then scrape into a large bowl. Remove the bowl of melted chocolate from the heat and set both aside to cool for a few minutes.
Stir the flour into the butter mixture, followed by the eggs and a pinch of salt. Stir in the melted dark chocolate (see Make Ahead).
When you’re ready to cook, put the raspberries and icing sugar in the cast iron frying pan or skillet and sit it on the barbecue grill. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries have broken down a little.

Pour the brownie mixture over the raspberries. Close the lid of the barbecue and cook for 25-30 minutes – it doesn’t matter if the heat dies down during this time – until the brownie is slightly flaky on top but still gooey inside.
Leave to cool for 10 minutes, then serve with raspberry sorbet or vanilla ice cream, if you like.

Quick wins & tips

Next time If you’d like to give the brownie some extra smokiness, throw some smoking chips onto the coals during the last 10 minutes of cooking. You can add them at the beginning, but it will take on a very strong smoked flavour – which can be divisive.

Make Ahead

Make up the brownie mix a few hours ahead and keep it covered at room temperature, ready to be poured into the pan as soon as you’ve finished cooking your main.
