On a recent trip to chitown a friend told me about a sinful treat that she loves from Pittsburgh. The treat was called "Grilled Stickies." When I heard the name I HAD to learn more. I mean anything that is grilled and sticky can't be too bad!
She described them to me as a sinful french toast esque treat served with ice cream and caramel. I HAD TO LEARN MORE!!!!!
I looked them up online and what I found was disturbingly delicious sounding! Grilled Stickies are day old sticky buns that are sliced into 1/2" slices that are buttered and grilled. I was sold. I had to make em!
I ran to my bakery and got some sticky buns. I picked up some sweet condensed milk and some vanilla ice cream and the Grilled Sticky party began!
Using sweet condensed milk to make caramel sauce is super easy. I combine 4 parts sweet condensed milk and 1 part water and just whisk it while on low heat. It turns into a nice thick caramel sauce. YUM!
I applied clarified butter to each side of the 1/2" slices of Sticky Bun. I put butter on a skillet and set it on low heat. I put the slices of sticky bun on the skillet and browned each side. I plated them with a scoop of ice cream and drizzled my caramel sauce on top. YUM!
What I got was silly, stupid, absurd and delicious. Grilled Stickies are AMAZING. BEWARE THOUGH! They are heavy! This is definely a treat that should be enjoyed every once and a while.
Mmmmm Grilled Stickies!
