Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium Fresh Peaches Look for peaches that are slightly soft to the touch, indicating ripeness.
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar This will help caramelize the peaches on the grill.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Adds warmth and depth to the flavor profile.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter For brushing over the peaches to enhance their grilling experience.
  • 2 cups Ice Cream Choose your favorite flavor, but vanilla or creamy flavors work best to complement the peaches.
  • 1 handful Mint Leaves For garnish, adding a pop of color and a refreshing element.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat to ensure even cooking.
  2. Wash the peaches thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.
  3. Slice each peach in half and carefully remove the pit from the center.
  4. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
  5. Brush the cut sides of the peaches with melted butter, ensuring a nice coating.
  6. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the buttered sides of the peaches.
Grilling
  1. Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes until you see grill marks and they start to soften.
  2. Flip the peaches over and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender and aromatic.
Serving
  1. Prepare serving plates with a generous scoop of ice cream at the center.
  2. Finally, place the grilled peach halves on top of the ice cream and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately for the best experience!

Notes

For added flavor, you can drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup over the grilled peaches before serving. If you enjoy a crunch, sprinkle crushed nuts or biscotti on top of the ice cream. Consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the melted butter for an aromatic twist. Keep an eye on your peaches while they grill to prevent burning.
