Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe peaches
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.125 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 4 sprigs fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and pit the peaches. Cut each peach into quarters.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the honey, fresh lime juice, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes until combined.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt fully and sizzle slightly.
Step 4
Add the peach quarters to the skillet, flesh side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to caramelize.
Step 5
Gently flip the peaches and pour the honey-lime mixture over them. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, spooning the sauce over the peaches occasionally.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat and let the peaches cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Serve the peaches warm in individual dessert bowls, drizzling any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top.
Step 8
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to each bowl and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint, if desired.
