Ingredients
- 4 whole fresh peaches
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 350°F to 400°F). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Wash and dry the peaches. Cut each peach in half and remove the pits. Leave the skins on.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to create a thick paste.
Step 4
Brush the cut sides of each peach half generously with the olive oil mixture.
Step 5
Place the peaches on the preheated grill, cut side down. Grill for 3-4 minutes, until grill marks appear and the peaches begin to caramelize.
Step 6
Flip the peaches over and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes, until they are softened but still hold their shape.
Step 7
Remove the peaches from the grill and place them on serving plates. Top each peach half with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Step 8
Drizzle the grilled peaches and ice cream with honey and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy this sweet Southern treat!
