Description
A simple and delicious dessert featuring ripe peaches and nectarines grilled to caramelized perfection, served warm with creamy vanilla ice cream, honey drizzle, and a sprinkle of sea salt.
Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 2 ripe peaches
- 2 ripe nectarines
Other Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 8 large scoops vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, preparing it for grilling the fruit evenly.
- Prepare Fruit: Cut the peaches and nectarines in half, remove the pits, and brush the cut sides lightly with canola oil to prevent sticking and enhance caramelization.
- Grill Fruit: Place the peach and nectarine halves cut-side down on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the fruit begins to caramelize, rotating them 90 degrees halfway through for crosshatch marks.
- Remove and Serve: Use tongs to remove the grilled fruit halves from the grill. Place one scoop of vanilla ice cream into the center of each fruit half.
- Finish: Drizzle honey over the grilled fruit and ice cream, then sprinkle flaky sea salt on top to enhance the flavors. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Choose peaches that are just ripe — juicy and flavorful but firm enough to hold their shape on the grill.
- Canola oil is used for its neutral flavor, but you can substitute with other light oils like vegetable or grapeseed oil.
- For an extra depth of flavor, you can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg before grilling.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan or broiler to achieve similar caramelization.
