Grilled Doughnut Shortcakes

This sweet treat will make enough for 2 servings... a nice combo of sweetness and tartness together and who woulda thought to grill a doughnut, right? We don't have doughnuts much in our house - because if we did we would eat them every day - lol. But, it's funny because we just celebrated our 5 year anniversary last week so I bought Q a box of Entemanns' Chocolate lover's doughnuts. He loved them and literally gobbled them up in about 3 days. So it's funny that I had this dessert on the menu the following week because we literally never have doughnuts. In fact, I've lived in Georgia for quite some time and haven't had a fresh Krispy Kreme doughnut yet. Several people are in shock that I still haven't experienced that deliciousness... oh well maybe someday I'll get around to it.




ingredients
• 2 cake doughnuts, halved
• handful of raspberries
• handful of blueberries
• 2 scoops of butter pecan ice cream
• 1/2 lemon juiced

directions
1. Mash the raspberries in a small bowl with lemon juice, set aside. 

2. Heat a grill pan over medium to medium-high heat. Spray pan with a little bit of cooking spray (if needed) and place doughnuts cut side down in the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly browned. 

3. Put a scoop of ice cream (we used butter pecan), raspberries, top with blueberries and doughnut top. EAT.

Truth be told, I gave Q the recipe and let him make us this sweet dessert - love it when he cooks up something too! Hehe! ;-) 

Enjoy!
