Grilled Peaches with Ice Cream

Ingredients:

  • 4 ripe but firm peaches

  • 1 tablespoon of honey

  • 1 tablespoon of brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil

  • Vanilla ice cream

  • Topping (basil, mint, or pistachios)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat. If you don't have a grill, a grill pan on the stove will also work.

  2. Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. Make sure your peaches are firm but ripe. Overly ripe peaches will fall apart on the grill.

  3. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, brown sugar, and olive oil until well combined.

  4. Brush the honey mixture onto the cut side of each peach. Make sure to coat the entire surface of the peach.

  5. Place the peaches on the grill, cut-side down. Grill for 3-4 minutes until the peaches are caramelized and slightly softened. You can also use tongs to rotate the peaches for even cooking.

  6. Remove the peaches from the grill and let them cool for a few minutes. Be careful as the peaches will be hot.

  7. Serve each grilled peach half with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You can also experiment with different toppings such as chopped nuts, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use ripe but firm peaches. Overly ripe peaches will fall apart on the grill.

  • To prevent the peaches from sticking to the grill, you can lightly oil the grill grates or brush the peaches with a little bit of oil before grilling.

  • You can also add a pinch of salt to the honey mixture for a little bit of contrast in flavors.

  • To make the dessert more decadent, you can also add a dollop of whipped cream on top of the ice cream.
