Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 large, ripe peaches
Other Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- Caramel sauce, for drizzling
- Fresh mint, roughly minced
- Roasted pistachios, roughly chopped
- Finishing salt, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Peaches: Halve and pit the peaches by cutting along the seam from stem to end, twisting the halves apart, and removing the pit with a knife and spoon if needed.
- Preheat Grill: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat, then brush the cut side of each peach half lightly with olive oil.
- Grill Peaches: Place peach halves cut side down on the grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until grill marks form and the peaches soften. Flip and grill for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Serve: Allow peaches to cool slightly but remain warm. Plate and top each half with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzle with caramel sauce, and sprinkle with chopped pistachios, fresh mint, and finishing salt. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use freestone peaches for easier pitting, but clingstone peaches also work well.
- Adjust amount of caramel sauce and finishing salt to taste for balance between sweet and savory.
- Perfect dessert for summer BBQs or outdoor gatherings, ready in under 30 minutes.
- Peaches can be grilled on an outdoor grill or a stovetop grill pan if an outdoor grill is unavailable.
