Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 2 ripe peaches
- 2 ripe nectarines
Other
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 8 large scoops vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure it’s ready for the peaches and nectarines.
- Prepare the fruit: Cut the peaches and nectarines in half, remove the pits, and brush each half lightly with canola oil to prevent sticking and help with caramelization.
- Grill the fruit: Place the fruit cut side down on the grill. Let them cook for 1-2 minutes until grill marks appear, then rotate each half 90 degrees and grill for a total of about 3-4 minutes until caramelized and tender.
- Serve with ice cream: Remove the grilled fruit using tongs. Place a large scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center of each fruit half.
- Finish with toppings: Drizzle honey over the fruit and ice cream, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt to enhance the flavors and add a subtle savory kick.
Notes
- Choose peaches that are just ripe—juicy but still firm enough to hold their shape while grilling.
- Canola oil is recommended for brushing due to its high smoke point and neutral flavor, but other neutral oils can be used.
- Adjust honey quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor contrast between warm fruit and cold ice cream.
