Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
Cooking Oils:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
Toppings and Garnishes:
- Vanilla ice cream
- Honey
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the outdoor grill to a medium-high temperature, approximately 375-400°F (190-204°C), ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled.
- Halve the ripe peaches, removing the pits, and delicately brush each surface with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance caramelization.
- Position the peach halves cut-side down directly on the preheated grill grates, allowing them to char and soften for 4 to 5 minutes, developing deep golden-brown grill marks.
- Carefully rotate the peaches using tongs, grilling the skin side for an additional 4 to 6 minutes until they become tender and develop a slightly smoky, caramelized exterior.
- Transfer the grilled peaches to a serving platter, then crown them with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzle with golden honey, and sprinkle a delicate pinch of fine sea salt to enhance the complex flavor profile.
- Serve immediately while the peaches are warm and the ice cream is chilled, creating a delightful contrast of temperatures and textures.
Notes
- Select peaches that yield slightly when gently pressed, ensuring optimal grilling texture.
- Olive or vegetable oil creates a perfect non-stick barrier for delicate fruit surfaces.
- Grill marks develop beautifully when temperature hovers around medium heat settings.
- Wildflower or local honey adds subtle sweetness without dominating the natural peach flavor.
- Cooling grilled peaches briefly allows caramelized sugars to set and intensify taste.
- Serving immediately preserves warm, smoky-sweet characteristics of perfectly grilled fruit.
- Metal tongs provide precise handling without damaging soft peach flesh during grilling.
- Clean grill grates prevent unwanted flavor transfer and ensure pristine peach presentation.
- Slice peaches into uniform halves or wedges for consistent cooking and elegant appearance.
- Pat peaches dry before oiling to enhance direct heat contact and minimize potential steaming.
