Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 ripe peaches
- 2 ripe nectarines
Other Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 8 large scoops vanilla ice cream
- Honey for drizzling
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium high heat to ensure proper caramelization without burning the fruit.
- Prepare the Fruit: Cut the peaches and nectarines in half and brush each half lightly with canola oil to prevent sticking and promote even grilling.
- Grill the Fruit: Place the oiled fruit halves flesh side down on the grill. Grill for about 3 to 4 minutes total, turning 90 degrees halfway through to create crosshatch grill marks, until the fruit is caramelized and tender.
- Serve: Using tongs, carefully remove the grilled fruit from the grill. Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center of each fruit half.
- Finish with Honey and Sea Salt: Drizzle honey over the fruit and ice cream, then sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top to enhance the flavors before serving immediately.
Notes
- Select peaches that are just ripe—juicy and sweet but firm enough to hold together on the grill.
- Use canola oil or any neutral oil with a high smoke point to avoid burning on the grill.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan on the stovetop to achieve similar results.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute vanilla ice cream with vegan or coconut-based ice cream.
- Adjust the amount of honey and sea salt according to your taste preferences.
