Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 4 ripe peaches (freestone peaches are best but any kind will work)
For Grilling
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (13 grams or olive oil spray)
Toppings
- 16 ounces vanilla bean ice cream (454 grams)
- ¼ cup caramel sauce (80 grams, heated)
- ¼ cup chopped nuts (28 grams, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits carefully to create two peach halves from each fruit.
- Oil the Peaches: Lightly brush or spray the inside of each peach half with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance grilling.
- Grill the Peaches: Place the peaches cut side down on a medium to medium-high heat grill. Grill for approximately 5 minutes until the peaches are tender and warmed through without burning.
- Add Toppings: Remove peaches from the grill and top each half with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, a drizzle of hot caramel sauce, and a sprinkle of chopped nuts if desired.
Notes
- Freestone peaches are easier to pit, but any ripe peaches will work.
- If you don’t have a grill, a grill pan or broiler can be used as an alternative.
- Ensure the grill is preheated to avoid sticking.
- For a lighter version, use olive oil spray instead of brushing with olive oil.
- The nuts add crunch and texture but can be omitted for a nut-free dessert.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between warm peaches and cold ice cream.
