  • 4 tbsp softened butter, divided
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 (8oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Fresh berries – sliced strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc.
  • Hot honey, for drizzling
  • Chocolate sauce, for drizzling
  • Fresh mint, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat grill to medium high.
2. Place 2 tablespoons of butter in a heat-proof pan and heat until melted.
3. Brush one side of each crust with butter and sprinkle with sugar.
4. Place crusts, sugar-side down, on the grill and cook until sugar caramelizes, 2-4 minutes.
5. Flip and cook the other side until desired crispness. 6. Combine cream cheese and butter in a bowl and whisk or beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and lemon zest. Slowly beat in powdered sugar until combined.
