It's Braai Time With Woolies - Desserts, Tips and Recipes You’ll Love

A great braai dessert hits three notes: flavour, ease, and timing. You don’t want to miss the action by spending hours in the kitchen. That’s why Woolies curates desserts you can prep ahead, braai on the grid or pass around with flair. We keep our standards high every step of the way, from fruit to freezer, so the dessert feels effortless but still steals the show and everyone's attention. Enjoy exceptional quality desserts with exceptional flavour too, with Woolworths' desserts.

Our easy braai desserts guide shows you how to serve dessert with style without fuss. Try peppermint crisp ice cream sandwiches. Make them the night before and keep them frozen. 

Bring them out after the main dishes and watch faces light up.

If you want something ripe and caramelised, grilled pineapple with ice cream pairs fresh fruit with a frozen treat. It looks bright on the table and tastes like summer in every bite.

For something unexpected, our sweet braai pie combines chocolate, pears and marshmallows right on the grid. Some would say it’s the must‑have “love child of pie and pudding.” A win on both ease and flavour.

If custard’s your slice of comfort, our citrus and ginger milk tart adds bright flavour to a South African favourite. It stays light, refreshing and perfect with coffee.

• Serve sandwich squares right out of the freezer when kids run off the field yelling, “I want dessert now!”
• Lay your pineapple braai right as the sun dips. It gives everyone something cool to look forward to.
• Tuck the sweet pie into the grid while the adults sink into conversation. It feeds the fun, not the cooks.

Every ingredient lives up to Woolies' promise of exceptional quality. We pick suppliers committed to traceability, ethics and consistent standards. That means dessert tastes as good at the table as it looks on the label. We test texture, freshness and flavour so you only bring home the best. It’s this attention to detail that makes every spoonful, slice or bite something worth sharing.

One braai guest laughed that our peppermint crisp sandwiches were better than their wedding cake. Another sneaked seconds of grilled pineapple under the braai shelter. Dessert becomes the moment everyone remembers, because it’s meant to.

From quick ice cream sandwiches to braai pies worth talking about, you’ll find it all in one place. Bring home dessert that steals the show, not your time.
