This simple yet decadent dessert—grilled peaches with ice cream—perfectly embodies the essence of summer, making it a must-try for any outdoor gathering or casual weeknight treat.
Ingredients
Scale:
4 Fresh peaches (ripe but firm)
2 tablespoons Brown sugar
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
2 tablespoons (unsalted) Butter
4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F to 400°F). This temperature is ideal for caramelizing the natural sugars in the peaches.
While the grill heats, wash and halve the peaches, removing the pits. You can leave the skins on, as they help hold the fruit together during grilling.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture onto the cut sides of the peach halves for added sweetness and flavor.
Melt the butter over low heat or in the microwave, then brush it onto the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes until they have nice grill marks and are slightly softened.
Carefully flip the peaches using tongs and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes. They should be tender and fragrant.
Remove the peaches from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the warm grilled peaches topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
