Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 ripe peaches
- 2 ripe nectarines
Additional Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 8 large scoops vanilla ice cream
- Honey, to taste
- Flaky sea salt, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the grill: Heat the grill to medium-high heat to ensure it is hot enough to caramelize the fruit quickly without burning.
- Brush fruit with oil: Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the peach and nectarine halves 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 about 3-4 minutes total, rotating the fruit 90 degrees halfway through to create attractive grill marks and even caramelization.
- Remove from grill: Carefully remove the grilled fruit from the grill using tongs to avoid burning.
- Serve with ice cream and toppings: Place a large scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center of each fruit half. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for a delicious finish.
Notes
- Select peaches and nectarines that are just ripe — juicy but firm enough to hold their shape while grilling.
- Use canola oil or another neutral oil with a high smoke point to prevent burning.
- For a vegan version, substitute vanilla ice cream with a plant-based alternative.
- Honey and sea salt can be adjusted to taste depending on desired sweetness and saltiness levels.
- Serve immediately after grilling to enjoy the contrast between warm fruit and cold ice cream.
