Ingredients
Scale
- 4 peaches (ripe, halved and pitted)
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) vegetable or canola oil
- Vanilla ice cream
- Honey
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Grill Preparation: Heat outdoor grill to medium-high (375-400°F), cleaning and lightly oiling grates for optimal cooking surface.
- Peach Preparation: Split ripe peaches, removing pits, and coat exterior with olive oil to prevent adhesion and promote caramelization.
- Initial Grilling: Place peach halves cut-side down on hot grates, allowing them to char and soften for 4-5 minutes, developing rich golden-brown markings.
- Final Grilling: Flip peaches using tongs, grilling skin side an additional 4-6 minutes until tender with a lightly smoky, caramelized finish.
- Plating and Garnishing: Arrange grilled peaches on serving platter, top with vanilla ice cream, drizzle honey, and sprinkle fine sea salt to elevate flavor complexity.
- Serving: Present immediately while peaches remain warm and ice cream stays chilled, creating a tantalizing temperature and textural contrast.
Notes
- Select Peak Ripeness: Choose peaches that yield slightly to gentle pressure, ensuring natural sweetness and optimal caramelization during grilling.
- Oil Application Technique: Lightly brush peaches with olive oil using a silicone pastry brush, creating an even coating that prevents sticking and promotes beautiful grill marks.
- Grill Temperature Control: Maintain medium-high heat between 375-400°F for perfect caramelization without burning, allowing natural sugars to develop rich, complex flavors.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy grilled peaches right after preparation to experience the ideal temperature contrast between warm, smoky fruit and cold, creamy ice cream.
