Ingredients
Scale
Gathering your ingredients is the first step to culinary magic. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional for extra sweetness)
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- A pinch of salt
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can substitute the peaches with nectarines or even plums for a different flavor profile. For a dairy-free option, try using a plant-based butter and ice cream.
Instructions
Now, let’s bring this dessert to life:
- Preheat your grill to medium heat. If you’re using a grill pan, place it on the stove over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Brush the cut sides of the peaches with the butter mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
- Place the peaches on the grill, cut side down. Grill for about 3-4 minutes, or until you see nice grill marks and the peaches are slightly softened.
- Flip the peaches and grill for an additional 2 minutes on the other side.
- Remove the peaches from the grill and let them cool slightly.
- Place each peach half in a serving dish and top with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with honey if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the symphony of flavors.
From my experience, the key to perfect grilled peaches is selecting fruit that’s ripe yet firm, which ensures they hold up well on the grill.
