Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 2 ripe peaches
- 2 ripe nectarines
Other Ingredients
- 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, ensuring it is hot enough to create nice grill marks on the fruit.
- Prepare the Fruit: Slice the peaches and nectarines in half, removing the pits. Lightly brush each half with canola oil to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization.
- Grill the Fruit: Place the peach and nectarine halves on the grill cut side down. Grill for a total of 4 minutes, rotating them 90 degrees halfway through to create crosshatch grill marks and to evenly caramelize the fruit.
- Serve: Using tongs, carefully remove the grilled fruit from the grill. Place a large scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center of each fruit half. Drizzle honey over the top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt to enhance the flavors.
Notes
- Choose peaches and nectarines that are ripe but still firm to ensure they hold up on the grill without becoming mushy.
- Use canola oil or another neutral oil to avoid imparting extra flavors to the fruit.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different sweet note.
- For a vegan version, substitute vanilla ice cream with a plant-based alternative.
- Serve immediately for the best contrast between warm grilled fruit and cold ice cream.
