Description
Some nights call for fireworks, and others? For grilled peaches melting under scoops of vanilla ice cream. This recipe came to life on my Grandpa Joe’s farm, where peaches and fire taught me that dessert can be smoky, simple, and deeply magical. Just 10 minutes, a few ripe peaches, and that one perfect scoop transform any evening into a celebration. It’s sweet meets smoky, hot meets cold—a plate full of joy. Let’s make some memories!
Ingredients
-
2 ripe peaches (or nectarines), halved and pitted
-
Canola oil (for brushing)
-
4 scoops vanilla ice cream (dairy-free works too!)
-
Honey (for drizzling)
-
Flaky sea salt (for finishing)
Instructions
-
Preheat Grill (5 mins): Medium-high heat (~400°F). Use a grill or grill pan.
-
Prep Peaches: Brush cut sides with oil. Wipe grill grates lightly with oiled paper towel.
-
Grill (3–4 mins): Cut-side down, no flipping! Let grill marks form without peeking.
-
Rest (3 mins): Remove peaches and let them cool slightly so ice cream doesn’t melt instantly.
-
Assemble: Place each peach half cut-side up in a bowl. Add a scoop of ice cream. Drizzle with honey and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
Notes
-
Use ripe but firm peaches for best grill performance.
-
No grill? Use a cast iron skillet or broil 4–6 mins in the oven.
-
Want to elevate it? Add toasted nuts or a splash of bourbon-maple glaze.
