Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 ripe peaches
- 2 ripe nectarines
Other
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 8 large scoops vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the grill. Heat the grill to medium-high heat to prepare for grilling the fruit.
- Prepare the fruit. Cut the peaches and nectarines in half and remove the pits. Brush the cut sides lightly with canola oil to prevent sticking during grilling.
- Grill the fruit. Place the fruit halves cut side down on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes in total, rotating them 90 degrees halfway through cooking to create attractive grill marks and to allow the fruit to caramelize slightly.
- Remove and serve. Using tongs, carefully remove the grilled fruit from the grill. Place each half on a serving plate and top the center with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Finish with honey and sea salt. Drizzle honey over the ice cream and sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top to enhance the flavors and add a delicious contrast.
Notes
- Select peaches and nectarines that are ripe yet firm enough to hold their shape on the grill.
- Canola oil is used for its neutral flavor and high smoke point; you can substitute with other neutral oils if preferred.
- Use flaky sea salt for a delicate texture and balanced saltiness.
- For added flavor, consider dusting the fruit with a pinch of cinnamon before grilling.
- This dessert is best served immediately to enjoy the contrast between warm fruit and cold ice cream.
