Ingredients
Scale
Peach Preparation
- 4 ripe peaches (freestone peaches preferred but any kind will work)
- 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), warmed
- ¼ cup chopped nuts (28 grams), optional
Instructions
- Prepare Peaches: Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits carefully to create two even halves.
- Oil Peaches: Lightly brush or spray the cut side of each peach half with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance caramelization.
- Grill Peaches: Place the peach halves cut side down on a preheated grill set to medium/medium-high heat. Grill for approximately 5 minutes until peaches are tender and warm but not burnt.
- Add Toppings: Once grilled, top each peach half with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, drizzle with hot caramel sauce, and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired for extra texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use freestone peaches for easier pit removal.
- Olive oil spray can be used instead of brushing with oil for convenience.
- Adjust grill time based on the ripeness and size of peaches to avoid overcooking.
- Chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts complement the sweetness and add crunch.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm peaches and cold ice cream.
